Computing the derivative of $f(x)=e^{2 x}$ a. Use the definition of the derivative to show that $$ \frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{2 x}\right)=e^{2 x} \cdot \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{2 h}-1}{h} $$ b. Show that the limit in part (a) is equal to $2 .$ (Hint: Factor $\left.e^{2 h}-1 .\right)$ c. Use parts (a) and (b) to find the derivative of $f(x)=e^{2 x}$
