See steps

Step-by-step explanation

1. Solve derivative

Convert a number from power form to exponential form using natural logarithm.

$\frac{d}{d x} [2^{x}] = \frac{d}{d x} [\exp (x \times \ln (2))]$

2 additional steps

Computing the derivative of an exponential function using the chain rule.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\exp (x \times \ln (2))] = \exp (x \times \ln (2)) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)]$

Decomposing the function for the chain rule.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\exp (x \times \ln (2))] = \frac{d}{d x} [\exp (x)] \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)]$

Computing the derivative of an exponential function.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\exp (x)] \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)] = \exp (x) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)]$

Substituting the variable back into the function.

$\exp (x) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)] = \exp (x \times \ln (2)) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)]$

Convert a number from exponential form to power form using natural logarithm.

$\exp (x \times \ln (2)) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)] = 2^{x} \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)]$

Multiplication can be done in any order, and the result remains the same.

$2^{x} \times \frac{d}{d x} [x \times \ln (2)] = 2^{x} \times \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (2) \times x]$

Applying the product rule of derivatives.

$2^{x} \times \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (2) \times x] = 2^{x} (\frac{d}{d x} [\ln (2)] \times x + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x])$

The derivative of a constant value is always zero.

$2^{x} (\frac{d}{d x} [\ln (2)] \times x + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x]) = 2^{x} (0 x + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x])$

Multiplying a number by zero always results in zero.

$2^{x} (0 x + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x]) = 2^{x} (0 + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x])$

Adding zero to a number, which does not change its value.

$2^{x} (0 + \ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x]) = 2^{x} \times (\ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x])$

The derivative of a variable with respect to itself is always equal to one.

$2^{x} \times (\ln (2) \times \frac{d}{d x} [x]) = 2^{x} \times (\ln (2) \times 1)$

Multiplying a number by one, which does not change its value.

$2^{x} \times (\ln (2) \times 1) = 2^{x} \times \ln (2)$

Simplifying the arithmetic expressions.

$2^{x} \times \ln (2) = 2^{x} \ln (2)$
