Calculate the derivative of f(x)=ex at c=0. At some point you should need the characterization of e given in Theorem 1.26.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The derivative is 0.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information. 

We are given a function,

f(x)=ex

02

Step 2. Finding the derivative. 

The derivative is given by,

f'(c)=limh0f(c+h)-f(c)hf'(0)=limh0e0+h-e0h=limh0e0·eh-e0h=limh00h=0
