Calculus 1: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Determine the slope of the tangent line to the function f(x)=2e3xf(x) = 2e^{-3x}at (0,2)(0,2)

For the following problem, find the derivative of f(x)=5x34f(x) = 5^{x^{3} - 4}

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

Use implicit differentiation to show that the derivative of lnx=1x\ln{x} = \frac{1}{x} for x>0x > 0

Note that many classes introduce logarithmic differentiation before implicit differentiation.

Find the derivative of f(x)=ln(2x)x4f(x) = \frac{\ln{(2x)}}{x^4}
