Find the Derivative - d/dx e^(rx)

Problem

d(e(r*x))/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the function as an exponential function of the form eu where u is a function of x

2. Apply the chain rule, which states that d(eu)/d(x)=eu⋅d(u)/d(x)

3. Determine the derivative of the exponent u=r*x with respect to x where r is a constant.

4. Calculate the derivative of the exponent: (d(r)*x)/d(x)=r

5. Multiply the original exponential function by the derivative of the exponent to find the final result.

Final Answer

d(e(r*x))/d(x)=r*e(r*x)
