Let $f(x)=A \mathrm{e}^{k x}+3$ . Part of the graph of f is shown below.

Figure for Question SL 5.6—Differentiation rules question 1 — IB Maths AA SL

The y-intercept is at (0,13).

Using your value of k, find $f^{\prime}(x)$ .

$\quad f(x)=10 \mathrm{e}^{-0.201 x}+3$ $f^{\prime}(x)=10 \mathrm{e}^{-0.201 x} \times-0.201 \quad\left(=-2.01 \mathrm{e}^{-0.201 x}\right)$
