xrentiation of Exponential Previously, we saw that the gradient function of any exponential function (y = o*) will always result in an exponential. y= ef 2 = f(t Example Differentiate the following with respect to x. (a) y=2e (b) ()y=e" (d) y=ex (e)y=x-e7* (fhy=(e4aye (e)y=xre Differentiation of Exponent Example For y=, write a statement linking the rate of change of e* and the value of y at each point on the curve. Example Derive y = + and find the gradient of the tangent where x = 2. Example Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y= e*— 2x at the point x= 1. Example Given that y = 3e, show that 2y"+ 3y’— 2y =. Example The diagram to the right shows the curve y= (1—) e% (a) Show that y’=—xe% (b) For what value of c does the equation (1—x) e=c have two solutions? ‘Write your answer in interval notation. Example The function flx) is defined by f(x) = xe (a) Find the coordinates of any turning points of f(x) and determine their nature, (b) Determine the coordinates of any points of inflexion. (c)__Describe the behaviours of the function (what happen to the y values) as x —» oo and xo, (4) Draw a neat sketch of f (x) showing any turning points and points of inflexion.
