What are the first and second derivatives of #f(x)=5^((x^5)-9x)#?
Following the rule to differentiate exponential functions:
As for the second derivative, we must see we have a three terms product. To differentiate it, we'll consider two of them as one, in a sort of chain rule, and then derivate these two as well, as shown in the formula below:
As zero cancels the product of the second term, we have left:

To find the first and second derivatives of ( f(x) = 5^{(x^5 - 9x)} ):
-
First derivative: [ f'(x) = (\ln 5) \cdot 5^{(x^5 - 9x)} \cdot (5x^4 - 9) ]
-
Second derivative: [ f''(x) = (\ln 5)^2 \cdot 5^{(x^5 - 9x)} \cdot ((5x^4 - 9)^2 + 20x^3) ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
