$y = 11^{x}$

Step 1

Differentiate both sides of the equation.

$\frac{d}{d x} (y) = \frac{d}{d x} (11^{x})$

Step 2

The derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$ is $y'$ .

$y'$

Step 3

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [a^{x}]$ is $a^{x} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $11$ .

$11^{x} \ln (11)$

Step 4

Reform the equation by setting the left side equal to the right side.

$y' = 11^{x} \ln (11)$

Step 5

Replace $y'$ with $\frac{d y}{d x}$ .

$\frac{d y}{d x} = 11^{x} \ln (11)$
