Question
what is the derivative of e^-x?
& What is the derivative of e^(4ln(x^3))?


Answer
The derivative of e^[f(x)] is f'(x)e^[f(x)] . Therefore :
[e^(-x)]'=-e^(-x) .

e^[4Ln(x^3)]=e^[Ln(x^12)]=x^12 Because aLnb=Ln(a^b) , & e^Ln(f)=f . Therefore :
The derivative of e^[4Ln(x^3)] = The derivative of e^[Ln(x^12)] = The derivative of x^12 =
12x^11 .
