まとめノート

    1. 1

      Defining axa^xax for every real xxx

      Write the rules a0=1a^0 = 1a0=1, a1=aa^1 = aa1=a and ax1+x2=ax1ax2a^{x_1 + x_2} = a^{x_1} a^{x_2}ax1​+x2​=ax1​ax2​, the rational power ap/q=apqa^{p/q} = \sqrt[q]{a^p}ap/q=qap​, filling in by continuity, and a sketch of y=2xy = 2^xy=2x.

    2. 2

      The formula ddxax=M(a) ax\frac{d}{dx} a^x = M(a)\, a^xdxd​ax=M(a)ax

      Starting from the difference quotient for axa^xax, factor out axa^xax with the rule of exponents, pull it outside the limit with xxx held fixed, and define M(a)M(a)M(a) as the remaining limit.

    3. 3

      M(a)M(a)M(a) as the slope of y=axy = a^xy=ax at (0,1)(0, 1)(0,1)

      Set x=0x = 0x=0 in the formula to get M(a)M(a)M(a) as the slope at (0,1)(0, 1)(0,1), draw that tangent line, and record the parallel with sine and cosine and that M(a)M(a)M(a) is still unknown.
