Investigation 9: Looking Inside the Box: Properties of the Function y = ex & Investigation 10: The Derivative of y = ex

Step B

If you take the limit of the slope of the secant as h approaches zero, then it becomes the slope of the tangent. Therefore, the expression becomes the derivative at any point (x, ex).
