exponential function differentiation
To get an idea of what the e function looks like, graph it on the calculator with the derivative function turned on - shift setup then scroll down to the derivative function and set to ON. Go into the graphing mode using shift ln to get the 'e' function as below. Use shift trace to move up the curve, noticing that the gradient is the same as its Y value. The graph also passes through the point (0,1) like all other exponential functions. The e function also known as the Euler function is just as important as Pi, but really doesn't make a show in junior maths and appears usually in Level 3, though may be encountered in level 2.
To differentiate an exponential function in e follow the rule below.
