let us suppose y = a^x log(y) = x log(a) ; taking log on both sides y = e^(xlog(a)) ; dy/dx = log(a) * e^(xlog(a)) ; differentiating either sides dy/dx = log(a) * e^(log(a^x)) ; because alogb = log(b^a) dy/dx = log(a) * (a^x) ; because e^(log(b)) = b hence dy/dx = (a^x). log(a)

Take it equals to y and then take log both the sides then derivative it w.r.t. x then dy/dx=y.loga then put the value of y you have supposed and you will get the answer.

Let F(x)= a^x F(x+h) = a^(x+h) dy/dx = lim?(h-0)??(a^(x+h)- a^x)/h? = lim?(h-0)??(a^x (a^h-1))/h? = lim?(h-0)??a^x lim?(h-0)??(a^h-1)/h? ? = a^x log?a this is known as abinitio
