<p>We can derive the derivative of e^(8x) using proofs. To show this, we will use the chain rule along with the rules of differentiation. There are several methods we use to prove this, such as: Using Chain Rule Using First Principles We will now demonstrate that the differentiation of e^(8x) results in 8e^(8x) using the above-mentioned methods: Using Chain Rule To prove the differentiation of e^(8x) using the chain rule, we consider the function as a composition of e^u and u = 8x. The derivative of e^u with respect to u is e^u, and the derivative of 8x with respect to x is 8. Therefore, by the chain rule, d/dx (e^(8x)) = d/du (e^u) * du/dx = e^(8x) * 8 = 8e^(8x). Using First Principles The derivative of e^(8x) can be proved using the first principle, which expresses the derivative as the limit of the difference<a>quotient</a>. To find the derivative of e^(8x) using the first principle, we will consider f(x) = e^(8x). Its derivative can be expressed as the following limit. f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = limₕ→₀ [e^(8(x + h)) - e^(8x)] / h = limₕ→₀ [e^(8x) * e^(8h) - e^(8x)] / h = e^(8x) * limₕ→₀ [e^(8h) - 1] / h Using the limit definition of the exponential function, limₕ→₀ (e^(8h) - 1) / h = 8. f'(x) = e^(8x) * 8 = 8e^(8x). Hence, proved.</p>

<h2>Higher-Order Derivatives of e^8x</h2>
13
<p>When a function is differentiated several times, the derivatives obtained are referred to as higher-order derivatives. Higher-order derivatives can be a little tricky. To understand them better, think of a car where the speed changes (first derivative) and the<a>rate</a>at which the speed changes (second derivative) also changes. Higher-order derivatives make it easier to understand functions like e^(8x). For the first derivative of a function, we write f′(x), which indicates how the function changes or its slope at a certain point. The second derivative is derived from the first derivative, which is denoted using f′′(x). Similarly, the third derivative, f′′′(x), is the result of the second derivative, and this pattern continues. For the nth derivative of e^(8x), we generally use fⁿ(x) for the nth derivative of a function f(x), which tells us the change in the rate of change. (continuing for higher-order derivatives).</p>
