gollark: This can also be written as a function of x explicitly if you want (it is one implicitly).
gollark: It's the same. If you say "y = whatever (in terms of x), dy/dx = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)", this is equivalent to saying "f(x) = whatever (still in terms of x), f'(x) = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)".
gollark: Consider what is done to the x to attain your output of e^(x ln a).
gollark: What?
gollark: Differentiate e^(x ln a) using the chain rule™.
