Question

2^(ex) derivative

Answer 1

i got e*2^(ex). which is wrong

Answer 2

Hint:

the derivative of b^x is b^x*ln(b) where b is any real number

Answer 3

ok. so it will be 2^(ex*ln(2))? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 4

close, but not quite

Answer 5

more like

2^(ex)*ln(2)

Answer 6

oh ok. i read the formula wrong. i thought ln(x) was an exponent.

Answer 7

i gotcha

Answer 8

hmm i think you need another factor out front
then again i have been wrong all night

Answer 9

oh right, forgot about the chain rule

Answer 10

wow i got one right! now i can retire

Answer 11

it should be e*2^(ex)*ln(2)

since you derive the inner function ex to get 'e'

Answer 12

ok so i have to just find the derivative of ex and multiply by ln(2) right.

Answer 13

exactly

Answer 14

and then times by 2^(ex)

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

ok great. Thankyou very much @jim_thompson5910 and @satellite73
P.S. don't retire, we need you
