Find the Derivative - d/dx 7e^x

Problem

(d(7)*e^x)/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 that function.

(d(c)*ƒ(x))/d(x)=cd(ƒ(x))/d(x)

2. Apply the constant multiple rule to the expression by moving the constant 7 outside of the derivative.

(d(7)*e^x)/d(x)=7d(e^x)/d(x)

3. Recall the derivative of the natural exponential function e^x which is simply e^x

d(e^x)/d(x)=e^x

4. Multiply the constant by the result of the derivative to find the final expression.

7⋅e^x=7*e^x

Final Answer

(d(7)*e^x)/d(x)=7*e^x
