Problem

ddxe2x\frac{d}{dx}e^{2x}

Step-by-step solution

  1. Identify the outer function eue^u and inner function u=2xu = 2x.

  2. Derivative of eue^u with respect to uu is eue^u (the unique fixed-point function).

  3. Derivative of inner 2x2x with respect to xx is 22.

  4. Apply the chain rule: ddxe2x=e2x2=2e2x\frac{d}{dx}e^{2x} = e^{2x} \cdot 2 = 2e^{2x}.

Answer

2e2x2e^{2x}
