    Induction with derivatives

    AHL AA 1.15

    Let f(x)=eax. Prove that

    f(n)(x)=aneax

    for all integers n≥0.


    Let P(n) be the proposition that

    f(n)(x)=aneax.


    Verify P(0):

    f(0)(x)=f(x)=eax=a0eax✓

    Assume P(k) is true:

    f(k)(x)=akeax.

    Show that P(k+1) is true:

    f(k+1)(x)=dxd​(akeax)=ak⋅aeax=ak+1eax.

    Thus, P(k+1) is true.


    Conclusion:

    Since P(0) is true and if P(k) is true then P(k+1) is true, P(n) is true for all integers n≥0.
