3.

The second one is the significant one for us since that limit is exactly the limit which we're working with above.  Thus, this definition leads to the following fact,

Fact 1

For the natural exponential function, f ( x ) = ex  we have

Hence, provided we are using the natural exponential function we obtain the following.

                                      f ( x )= ex       ⇒                f ′ ( x ) = ex

At this instance we're missing some knowledge that will let us to simply get the derivative for a general function.  We will be able to show that eventually for a general exponential function we have,

                            f ( x ) = a x   ⇒       f ′ ( x ) = a x ln ( a )
