If h(x) = e^(2x), what is h'(x)? (2019)
  • Step 1: Identify the function h(x) = e^(2x).
  • Step 2: Recognize that this is an exponential function where the exponent is a function of x (specifically, 2x).
  • Step 3: Recall the chain rule for differentiation, which states that if you have a composite function f(g(x)), the derivative is f'(g(x)) * g'(x).
  • Step 4: In our case, let f(u) = e^u where u = 2x. The derivative of f(u) with respect to u is f'(u) = e^u.
  • Step 5: Now, find the derivative of u = 2x with respect to x, which is u' = 2.
  • Step 6: Apply the chain rule: h'(x) = f'(u) * u' = e^(2x) * 2.
  • Step 7: Simplify the expression: h'(x) = 2e^(2x).
