Answer:
Was dis a question or an answer, dawg??
The answer to this is 0<b<1
Yes, this is a linear equation with a constant rate of change (a slope) so the sets of values of the graph are proportional

Use the product rule first:


Use the chain rule to compute the derivative of
. Let
and take
, so that by the chain rule




So we have

You can rewrite this a bit by factoring
, just to make it look neater:
