e_the derivative

: the derivation

since "e" is a constant, and the derivative of any constant is 0, we will consider taking the derivative of e^x. Its derivative is as follows...

What does this mean? We see the graph of e^xis:

The derivative of a function enables us to find the slope of any point of that function. For example, if f(x)=x², then dy/dx=2x is the slope of the curve at any point x.

Here, we see that if x=1, then the slope (also the tangent of the curve at a given point) is two. If x=2, then the slope will be 4 and so on according to y=2x. Getting back to how this affects e^x, we find that the derivative of e^xis also e^x. The graphs of which are identical:
