Investigating Derivatives of y = a^x

This example demonstrates the effect of varying the base 'a' on the function y = a^x and its derivative graph. Key math concepts include exponential functions, derivatives, rates of change, and limits. GeoGebra commands used: a (parameter), f (function), text1 (text), g (function), text2 (text), text3 (text), text4 (text). Suitable for high school students and above to learn and understand the properties of derivatives of exponential functions, ideal for classroom instruction or self-exploration.
