Find the Derivative - d/dx 2e^x

Problem

(d(2)*ex)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant multiple rule, which states that the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

2. Apply the constant multiple rule by moving the constant 2 outside of the derivative operator.

(d(2)*ex)/d(x)=2d(ex)/d(x)

3. Recall the derivative of the natural exponential function, which is d(ex)/d(x)=ex

4. Multiply the constant by the result of the derivative.

2⋅ex=2*ex

Final Answer

(d(2)*ex)/d(x)=2*ex
