Process:
The derivative of e x is simply e x . However, in this example, x has a coefficient, so we will need to use the chain rule.
If y = e 5 x , then, by the chain rule, the derivative will be equal to the derivative of e 5 x with respect to 5x, multiplied by the derivative of 5x with respect to x.
d y d x = d d x [ 5 x ] e 5 x
d y d x = 5 e 5 x
