Find the Derivative - d/dx e^(-14x)

Problem

d(e(−14*x))/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the derivative of an exponential function with a composite exponent, which is the Chain Rule.

2. Apply the formula for the derivative of eu where u=−14*x

3. Differentiate the inner function u=−14*x with respect to x which results in −14

4. Multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function.

Final Answer

d(e(−14*x))/d(x)=−14*e(−14*x)
