TopicDifferentiating Transcendental Functions
TypeDifferentiate exponential functions
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a direct application of the chain rule for differentiating e^(kx), which is a standard result students memorize. It's a 1-mark multiple-choice question requiring only recall of a basic differentiation formula with no problem-solving or multi-step reasoning needed.
Spec1.07j Differentiate exponentials: e^(kx) and a^(kx)

Given \(y = e^{kx}\), where \(k\) is a constant, find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) Circle your answer. [1 mark] $$\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{kx} \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = ke^{kx} \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = kxe^{x-1} \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^{kx}}{k}$$
