Homework Statement
Find the first and second derivative of the following function:
F(x)=e4ex
Homework Equations
d/dx ex = ex
d/dx ax = axln(a)
The Attempt at a Solution
I know the derivative of ex is just ex, but I'm not sure how to go about starting this one. I'm near certain I need to use the chain rule, but I have no idea how to go about starting it. I even tried to substitute u= e4e, but realized that I'm not raising everything to the power of x, only the top e.
Any ideas?
