So we've already seen that the derivative with respect to x of e to the x is equal to e to the x, which is a pretty amazing thing. One of the many things that makes e somewhat special, that when you have an exponential with your base right over here as e, the derivative of it, the slope at any point, is equal to the value of that actual function. But now let's see, let's start exploring when we have other bases. Can we somehow figure out what is the derivative, what is the derivative with respect to x when we have a to the x, where a could be any number? Is there some way to figure this out? And maybe using our knowledge that the derivative of e to the x is e to the x. Well, can we somehow use a little bit of algebra and exponent properties to rewrite this so it does look like something with e as a base?
