Question

(a) Sketch, by hand, the graph of the function $f(x)=e^x$, paying particular attention to how the graph crosses the $y$-axis. What is the slope of the tangent line at that point? (b) What types of functions are $f(x)=e^x$ and $g(x)=x^e$ ? Compare the differentiation formulas for $f$ and $g$. (c) Which of the two functions in part (b) grows more rapidly when $x$ is large?
