a*x
e
---------------
(p - 1)*(p - 2)
exp(a*x)/(((p - 1)*(p - 2)))
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is itself.
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
1 a*x a*---------------*e (p - 1)*(p - 2)
2 a*x
a *e
-----------------
(-1 + p)*(-2 + p)
