Find the Derivative - d/dx y=3e^(5x)

Problem

d()/d(x)*3*e(5*x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant multiple rule, which allows the constant 3 to be moved outside the derivative.

(d(3)*e(5*x))/d(x)=3d(e(5*x))/d(x)

2. Apply the chain rule for the exponential function eu where u=5*x

d(eu)/d(x)=eud(u)/d(x)

3. Differentiate the exponent 5*x with respect to x

(d(5)*x)/d(x)=5

4. Multiply the results together to find the final derivative.

3⋅e(5*x)⋅5=15*e(5*x)

Final Answer

(d(3)*e(5*x))/d(x)=15*e(5*x)
