I just gotta make sure of something. The derivative and intergral of e^x is still e^x right?

@Vocaloid @Rushwr @isaac4321
OpenStudy (freckles):
yes
\[\frac{d}{dx}e^{x}=e^x \text{ and } \int\limits e^x dx=e^x+C\]
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Oh. Ok :3 thx
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
So... The intergral of e^kx is equal to e^kx?
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Or is it different

with respect to k or x ?
OpenStudy (freckles):
\[\int\limits_{}^{}e^{kx} dx \\ u=kx \\ du=k dx \\ \int\limits e^{u} \frac{1}{k} du =\frac{1}{k} \int\limits e^{u} du=...\]
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
With respect of x I think.
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
One more :3
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
What's the derivitave of ln(x)

\[y=\ln(x) \\ e^{y} =x \]
you know how to differentiate e^y w.r.t x right?
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
No
OpenStudy (freckles):
apply chain rule
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Ok...
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Ohhhh so would it be 1/x?

\[\frac{d}{dx}e^x=e^x \\ \frac{d}{dx}e^{u}=u' e^{u} \\ \frac{d}{dx}e^{y}=y'e^{y} \\ y=\ln(x) \text{ is equivalent \to } e^{y}=x \\ \text{ differentiating both sides gives } y'e^{y}=1 \\ y'=\frac{1}{e^y}=\frac{1}{x} \\ \text{ since } e^{y}=x\]
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Or not...?
OpenStudy (freckles):
you are right
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
Oh.. Yay thx @freckles helps a lot
OpenStudy (freckles):
I was just going off by what we had earlier
I think the definition of ln(x) is...
\[\ln(x)=\int\limits_1^x \frac{1}{t} dt\]

and the you use the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the derivative of ln(x)
w.r.t. x
OpenStudy (freckles):
where x>0
