Derivative of e^(x+3)

We now understand the derivative of e^(x+3). It is commonly represented as d/dx (e^(x+3)) or (e^(x+3))', and its value is e^(x+3). The function e^(x+3) has a clearly defined derivative, indicating it is differentiable for all real numbers.

The key concepts are mentioned below:

Exponential Function: e^(x+3) is an exponential function where the base is Euler's number.

Chain Rule: Rule used for differentiating composite functions like e^(x+3).

Derivative of e^x: The derivative of the natural exponential function e^x is itself, e^x.

The derivative of e^(x+3) can be denoted as d/dx (e^(x+3)) or (e^(x+3))'. The formula we use to differentiate e^(x+3) is: d/dx (e^(x+3)) = e^(x+3)

The formula applies to all x.

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

1. sing Chain Rule
2. Using First Principles

Using Chain Rule

To prove the differentiation of e^(x+3) using the chain rule, Let u = x + 3, which makes e^(x+3) = e^u. Then, d/dx (e^(x+3)) = d/du (e^u) * du/dx

The derivative of e^u with respect to u is e^u and the derivative of u with respect to x is 1.

So, d/dx (e^(x+3)) = e^u * 1 = e^(x+3).

Using First Principles

The derivative of e^(x+3) can also be proved using the First Principle, which expresses the derivative as the limit of the difference quotient.

Consider f(x) = e^(x+3). Its derivative can be expressed as the following limit. f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = limₕ→₀ [e^(x+h+3) - e^(x+3)] / h = limₕ→₀ e^(x+3) [e^h - 1] / h

Using the limit formula limₕ→₀ (e^h - 1)/h = 1, f'(x) = e^(x+3) * 1 = e^(x+3).

Hence, proved.

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 e^(x+3).

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 e^(x+3), we generally use f^(n)(x) for the nth derivative of a function f(x), which tells us the change in the rate of change.

The derivative of e^(x+3) is always e^(x+3) regardless of x, as the exponential function is defined for all real numbers. However, at x = -3, e^(x+3) simplifies to e^0, which is 1.

Similarly, at any point, the derivative is simply the function value itself.
