can somebody help me !

The derivative of the exponential function is the same as the original function. In other words, the derivative of e^x is also e^x.
To find the derivative of the exponential function, you can use the power rule or the chain rule. The power rule states that the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), so for e^x, the derivative is e^x. The chain rule states that for a function f(g(x)), the derivative is f'(g(x))g'(x). Applying this to e^x, we get e^x * 1, which simplifies to just e^x.
The derivative of the exponential function is important in various fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. It is used to model growth and decay, as well as to solve differential equations.
The derivative of the exponential function is closely related to the derivative of logarithmic functions. In fact, the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x, which can be derived from the derivative of e^x. This relationship is known as the inverse property of logarithms and exponentials.
No, the derivative of the exponential function cannot be negative. Since the derivative of e^x is always e^x, which is a positive value, the derivative of the exponential function will always be positive. This is because the exponential function is always increasing, never decreasing.
