Transcript text: Differentiate the function $y=e^{0.8 t}$.
\[
\frac{d y}{d t}=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define the Function
We start with the function given by
\[
y = e^{0.8t}.
\]
Step 2: Differentiate the Function
To find the derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(t\), we apply the rule for differentiating exponential functions. The derivative of \(e^{ax}\) is \(ae^{ax}\), where \(a\) is a constant. Here, \(a = 0.8\). Thus, we have:
\[
\frac{dy}{dt} = 0.8 e^{0.8t}.
\]
Final Answer
The derivative of the function is
\[
\boxed{\frac{dy}{dt} = 0.8 e^{0.8t}}.
\]
