The derivative of e^u(x) with respect to x: [du/dx]*[e^u(x)]

For a general exponential: b^x, can be rewritten as b^x = e^(x*ln(b))

So derivative of b^x = derivative of e^u(x), where u(x) = x*ln(b).

Derivative of x*ln(b) = ln(b). {remember b is just a constant, so ln(b) is a constant}

So derivative of b^x = ln(b)*e^(x*ln(b))= ln(b) * b^x(from above)

How do we differentiate between a quadratic equation and an exponential equation?

a quadratic equation must be in this form ax^2+bx+c=0 (can either be + or -) an exponential just means that the function grows at an exponential rate f(x)=x^2 or x^3


Is the inverse of an exponential function the quadratic function?

Is y equals x4 an exponetial function?

If the question is, Is y = x4 an exponential function ? then the answer is no.An exponential function is one where the variable appears as an exponent.So, y = 4x is an exponential function.


How do you change an exponential functions to a logarithmic function?

If y is an exponential function of x then x is a logarithmic function of y - so to change from an exponential function to a logarithmic function, change the subject of the function from one variable to the other.

Is an exponential function is the inverse of a logarithmic function?

No, an function only contains a certain amount of vertices; leaving a logarithmic function to NOT be the inverse of an exponential function.


What is exponential function?

"The" exponential function is ex. A more general exponential function is any function of the form AeBx, for any non-xero constants "A" and "B". Alternately, Any function of the form CDx (for constants "C" and "D") would also be considered an exponential function. You can change from one form to the other.
