Find dy/dx y=e^x
y=ex
Step 1
Differentiate both sides of the equation.
ddx(y)=ddx(ex)
Step 2
The derivative of y with respect to x is y.
y
Step 3
Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that ddx[ax] is axln(a) where a=e.
ex
Step 4
Reform the equation by setting the left side equal to the right side.
y=ex
Step 5
Replace y with dydx.
dydx=ex
y=ex
