How do you find the derivative of #f(x)=5x-2e^x#? Calculus Differentiating Exponential Functions Differentiating Exponential Functions with Base e 1 Answer Henry W. Oct 30, 2016 #f'(x)=5-2e^x# Explanation: #f'(x)=(d(5x))/(dx)-(d(2e^x))/(dx)->#since there is only a subtraction operation, the separate parts of the function are able to be derived individually. #(d(5x))/(dx)=5->#power rule #(d(2e^x))/(dx)=2e^x->d/(dx)e^x=e^x# #:.f'(x)=5-2e^x# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #y=3x^2e^(5x)# ?
