• The slope of the tangent at a point on the graph of y e x equals the value<br />

of the function at this point.<br />

Need to Know<br />

• The rules for differentiating functions, such as the product, quotient, and<br />

chain rules, also apply to combinations involving exponential functions of the<br />

form f1x2 e g1x2 .<br />

• e is called Euler's number or the natural number, where e 2.718.<br />

at the point 10, 12.<br />

b. Use graphing technology to graph the function in part a., and draw the<br />

tangent at 10, 12.<br />

c. Compare the equation in part a. with the equation generated by graphing<br />

technology. Do they agree?<br />
