Exercise · ZW-DERIVATIVES-OF-EXPONENTIALS-AND-LOGARITHMS-009 · ★☆☆ Basic
Compute \((e^{x})'\) at \(x=0\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(1\)
Explanation
The derivative of \(e^{x}\) is \(e^{x}\), and \(e^{0}=1\).
Review the concept: Derivatives of exponentials and logarithms
The function \(e^x\) is its own derivative. For base \(a>0\), \(a^x\) has derivative \(a^x\ln a\), and \(\ln x\) has derivative \(\frac{1}{x}\) for \(x>0\).
\[(e^{x})'=e^{x},\quad(a^{x})'=a^{x}\ln a,\quad(\ln x)'=\frac{1}{x}\]
