Step 1
Concept:
The number e refers Euler’s number. Limits are needed for calculus, mathematical analysis and also to define derivatives, integrals and continuity.
Step 2
Solution:
Taking any real power of x saying xn
f(x)=xn
f(x)=xn
Can be written as power of e as follows,
f(x)=elnxn
On simplifying,
f(x)=enlnx
Here the restriction on x is x>0
ddx(xn)=ddx(enlnx)
Step 3
By using chain rule,
ddx(xn)=(enlnx)ddx(nlnx)
On simplifying,
ddx(xn)=(elnx)nx
=(xn)nx
=nxn1
Therefore, ddx(xn)=nxn1
