Q. Find the derivative of f(x). Where f(x)=e(x+1)f′(x)=?
Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate. f(x)=e(x+1).
Apply derivative rule: Apply the derivative rule for exponential functions. The derivative of eu, where u is a function of x, is eu times the derivative of u.
Find inner function derivative: Find the derivative of the inner function u(x)=x+1. The derivative of u(x) is 1.
Multiply derivative and function: Multiply the derivative of the inner function by the original function. f′(x)=e(x+1)×1.
Simplify expression: Simplify the derivative expression. f′(x)=e(x+1).
