$f (x) = - 2 e^{x}$

Step 1

Since $- 2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $- 2 e^{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $- 2 \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$ .

$- 2 \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$

Step 2

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

$- 2 e^{x}$
