Q. \(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^{x}\right)\)

Answer

Differentiate \(2e^x\). Since \(\frac{d}{dx}(e^x)=e^x\) and \(2\) is a constant:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^x\right)=2e^x
\]

Detailed Explanation

We want to find the derivative of the function \(2e^x\).

Step 1: Identify the constant factor.

The function is \(2e^x\). The number \(2\) is a constant multiplier.

Step 2: Use the constant multiple rule.

The constant multiple rule says:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(c \cdot f(x)\bigr) = c \cdot \frac{d}{dx}f(x)
\]

Here, \(c=2\) and \(f(x)=e^x\). So:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(2e^x\bigr) = 2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}\bigl(e^x\bigr)
\]

Step 3: Differentiate \(e^x\).

A key fact is:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(e^x\bigr) = e^x
\]

Step 4: Substitute back and simplify.

So:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(2e^x\bigr) = 2 \cdot e^x
\]

Final Answer:

\[
\frac{d}{dx}\bigl(2e^x\bigr) = 2e^x
\]

Calculus FAQ

What is the derivative of \(2e^x\)?

\( \frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^x\right)=2\frac{d}{dx}\left(e^x\right)=2e^x \).

How do you differentiate \(e^x\) ?

\( \frac{d}{dx}\left(e^x\right)=e^x \).

What is the derivative of \(c e^x\) where \(c\) is a constant?

\( \frac{d}{dx}\left(c e^x\right)=c e^x \).

Does the constant factor \(2\) inside \(2e^x\) change the derivative?

No. Constants factor out: \( \frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^x\right)=2e^x \).

How can you use the chain rule if the exponent is different, like \(2e^{3x}\)?

\( \frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^{3x}\right)=2\cdot e^{3x}\cdot 3=6e^{3x} \).

What is the derivative of \(2e^x + 5\)?

\( \frac{d}{dx}\left(2e^x+5\right)=2e^x+0=2e^x \).
