Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

  1. Use the definition of \(e\) as the unique positive number for which \(\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{e^{h} - 1}{h} = 1\) and the definition of the derivative to show that derivative of the exponential function, \(f(x) = e^x\) is equal to \(e^x\)

  2. Determine the derivative of \(f(x) = 2x^5 - 3e^{6x}\)

  3. Find the derivative of \(f(x) = x^{3}e^{-2x}\)

  4. Determine the slope of the tangent line to the function \(f(x) = 2e^{-3x}\)at \((0,2)\)

  5. For the following problem, find the derivative of \(f(x) = 5^{x^{3} - 4}\)

  6. Use implicit differentiation to show that the derivative of \(\ln{x} = \frac{1}{x}\) for \(x > 0\)
    Note that many classes introduce logarithmic differentiation before implicit differentiation.

  7. Use the properties of logarithms to show that the derivative of \(\log_{a}x = \frac{1}{(\ln{a})x}\)

  8. Differentiate \(f(x) = \ln{6x^2}\)

  9. Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative in the following example
    \(g(x) = \log_{3}(2x^{2} - 5x)\)

  10. Find the derivative of \(f(x) = \frac{\ln{(2x)}}{x^4}\)
