Derivative of 3e^2x

We now understand the derivative of 3e^2x. It is commonly represented as d/dx (3e^2x) or (3e^2x)', and its value is 6e^2x. The function 3e^2x has a clearly defined derivative, indicating it is differentiable within its domain. The key concepts are mentioned below:

Exponential Function: The general form of an exponential function is ae^bx, where a and b are constants.

Chain Rule: A rule for differentiating composite functions, such as 3e^2x.

Constant Multiple Rule: If a function is multiplied by a constant, its derivative is the constant multiplied by the derivative of the function.

The derivative of 3e^2x can be denoted as d/dx (3e^2x) or (3e^2x)'.

The formula we use to differentiate 3e^2x is: d/dx (3e^2x) = 6e^2x

The formula applies to all x, as exponential functions are defined for all real numbers.

We can derive the derivative of 3e^2x using proofs. To show this, we will use the rules of differentiation. There are several methods we use to prove this, such as:

1. Using the Chain Rule
2. Using the Constant Multiple Rule

We will now demonstrate that the differentiation of 3e^2x results in 6e^2x using these methods:

Using the Chain Rule

To prove the differentiation of 3e^2x using the chain rule, We use the formula: 3e^2x = 3 * e^(2x)

Let u = 2x, then the outer function becomes 3e^u. By the chain rule: d/dx [3e^u] = 3e^u * du/dx

Since du/dx = 2 (as the derivative of 2x is 2), d/dx (3e^2x) = 3e^(2x) * 2 = 6e^2x

Using the Constant Multiple Rule

We will now prove the derivative of 3e^2x using the constant multiple rule. The step-by-step process is demonstrated below:

Here, we use the formula, 3e^2x = 3 * e^(2x) By the constant multiple rule, the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

Thus, d/dx (3e^2x) = 3 * d/dx (e^(2x)) = 3 * 2e^(2x) (since the derivative of e^(2x) is 2e^(2x)) = 6e^2x

When a function is differentiated several times, the derivatives obtained are referred to as higher-order derivatives. Higher-order derivatives can be a little tricky.

To understand them better, think of a car where the speed changes (first derivative) and the rate at which the speed changes (second derivative) also changes. Higher-order derivatives make it easier to understand functions like 3e^2x.

For the first derivative of a function, we write f′(x), which indicates how the function changes or its slope at a certain point. The second derivative is derived from the first derivative, which is denoted using f′′(x). Similarly, the third derivative, f′′′(x) is the result of the second derivative and this pattern continues.

For the nth Derivative of 3e^2x, we generally use f⁽ⁿ⁾(x) for the nth derivative of a function f(x) and the pattern follows the same multiplicative structure for exponential functions.

Exponential functions like 3e^2x do not have any points of discontinuity or undefined points within the domain of real numbers.

• Derivative: The derivative of a function indicates how the given function changes in response to a slight change in x.
