derivative of e^(-2x)... and how do you find the derivative of e^(n) anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of e^x is e^x so derivative of e^-2x is e^-2x (-2)

huh..?

If \[\Large y = e^{x}\] then \[\Large y^{\prime} = e^{x}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

If \[\Large y = e^{-2x}\] then \[\Large y^{\prime} = -2e^{-2x}\]

because of the chain rule
