Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:
![\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%5Bcf%28x%29%5D%20%3D%20c%20%5Ccdot%20f%27%28x%29)
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:
- f(x) = cxⁿ
- f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹
Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
![\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5Bf%28g%28x%29%29%5D%20%3Df%27%28g%28x%29%29%20%5Ccdot%20g%27%28x%29)
Step-by-step explanation:
*Note:
Recall that the definition of the derivative is the <em>slope of the tangent line</em>.
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify given.</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Differentiate</u>
- [Function] Apply Exponential Differentiation [Derivative Rule - Chain Rule]:

- [Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Rule - Multiplied Constant]:

- [Derivative] Apply Derivative Rule [Derivative Rule - Basic Power Rule]:

<u>Step 3: Find Tangent Slope</u>
- [Derivative] Substitute in <em>x</em> = 1:

- Rewrite:

∴ the slope of the tangent line is equal to
.
<u>Step 4: Find Equation</u>
- [Function] Substitute in <em>x</em> = 1:

- Rewrite:

∴ our point is equal to
.
Substituting in our variables we found into the point-slope form general equation, we get our final answer of:

∴ we have our final answer.
