00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.609
Here is the problem: d by d x e to the power 2x.

2
00:00:05.059 --> 00:00:09.389
Find the derivative of e to the power 2x with respect to x.

3
00:00:10.189 --> 00:00:17.840
Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime.

4
00:00:18.290 --> 00:00:19.764
Constant multiple rule.

5
00:00:20.214 --> 00:00:21.793
Combine and simplify.

6
00:00:22.593 --> 00:00:27.098
So the answer is f prime of x equals 2e to the power 2x.

7
00:00:27.548 --> 00:00:40.540
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

8
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:48.085
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
