f(x) = e^(2pix)

f(x)= x^(e2pi)

f(x)= (epi)^2x

i'll try the first one....
f(x) = e^{(2pix)}
you can find the f'(x) with chain rule method, and remember this one
Quote:
f(x) = e^{x}
f'(x) = e^{x}
so, f'(x) =(2) (pi) e^{(2pix)}

Or,

f(x) = e^{ax}
f'(x) = a e^{ax}

and the power rule:

f(x) = x^{a}
f'(x) = a x^{a-1}
