Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the derivative of f(x) = e^(2x) at x = 0.
Correct Answer: 2
  • Step 1: Identify the function we need to differentiate, which is f(x) = e^(2x).
  • Step 2: Use the chain rule to find the derivative. The derivative of e^(u) is e^(u) * du/dx, where u = 2x.
  • Step 3: Calculate du/dx. Since u = 2x, the derivative du/dx = 2.
  • Step 4: Apply the chain rule: f'(x) = e^(2x) * 2 = 2e^(2x).
  • Step 5: Now, we need to find the derivative at x = 0. Substitute x = 0 into f'(x).
  • Step 6: Calculate f'(0) = 2e^(2*0) = 2e^0.
  • Step 7: Since e^0 = 1, we have f'(0) = 2 * 1 = 2.
  • Differentiation of Exponential Functions – Understanding how to differentiate functions of the form f(x) = e^(kx) where k is a constant.
  • Evaluation of Derivatives at Specific Points – Calculating the value of the derivative at a given point, in this case, x = 0.
