Need Help! What is the derivative of e^-x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand how it's -e^-x

OpenStudy (loser66):

\((e^u)' = e^u*(u)'\) ok??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhm

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes, yes, yes, not mhm.... ok? since \((e^x)' = e^x *(x)'\) but (x)' = 1, hence \((e^x)'=e^x\) ok??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure thing loser!

OpenStudy (loser66):

now, \((e^{-x})'= e^{-x}*(-x)'\) and (-x)' =-1 hence it is \(-e^{-x}\) , clear??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, thanks
