\(\huge \color{blue}{\frac{d}{dx}e^{ax}=ae^{ax}}\)
hartnn (hartnn):
here a=-1 and 2can be factored out of derivative because its a constant.
hartnn (hartnn):
@saifoo.khan , you meant \(\Huge {2e^{-x}[}{\frac{d}{dx} (-x)}]\)
right ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2e is the ans
hartnn (hartnn):
now u know how to get \(-2e^{-x}\) as answer ?

Yes @hartnn . did a mistake. :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no i m not get it
hartnn (hartnn):

yes, power will never change for e, it only gets multiplied before e term

ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f'x=(2e-x)'=(2/ex)'=(2'ex-2(ex)')/(ex)2
=(-2ex)/(ex)2
=-2e-x --i think it is the answer!!!
hartnn (hartnn):
this i got from chain rule,
\(\huge \color{blue}{\frac{d}{dx}e^{ax}=ae^{ax}}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is the result u found is the same with me?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes.
