$3 e^{x}$

Find the first derivative.

Tap for more steps...

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $3 e^{x}$ with respect to $x$ is $3 \frac{d}{d x} [e^{x}]$ .

$f' (x) = 3 \frac{d}{d x} (e^{x})$

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

$f' (x) = 3 e^{x}$
