• differentiate exponential functions where the base is a constant,
• differentiate exponential functions with linear exponents,
• differentiate exponential functions with quadratic exponents,
• use the chain, product, and quotient rules for differentiation in order to differentiate exponential functions,
• evaluate the differential of an exponential function at a given point.
