so say y = 2^x

dy/dx = ln2.2^x

(. = multiplication symbol, ^ = to-the-power-of symbol)

The general formula is

(where 'a' is a constant, x is what you are differentiating with respect to and y is f(x))

y = a^x

then

dy/dx = lna.a^x

Go ask a math teacher or look up exponential function differentiation on the internet for why.

How do you differentiate 2 to the power x with respect to x?

The answer is ln(2)2x where ln(2) is the natural log of 2. The answer is NOT f(x) = x times 2 to the power(x-1). That rule applies only when the exponent is a constant.

How do you differentiate xy3 - 3y equals 1008?

With respect to x, the derivative would be:1*Y^3 = Y^3With respect to Y the derivative would be:3*xy^2 - 3In general: the derivative of a variable is defined as: nax^n-1Where n represents the power, a represents the factor and x represents the variable


What is the differentiation of y with respect to x for x equals y exponent y?
