B

0

C

-1

D

3e⁷

Correct Answer :

3e⁷

Solution :

The correct option is 3e⁷.

To find the value of the derivative
dydx
evaluated at x=0, let us first clarify the function. The given function is y=e3x+n, where n represents a constant parameter equal to 7. Substituting this value, the function becomes:

y=e3x+7

To find the derivative of this function with respect to x, we apply the chain rule of differentiation. The chain rule states that if we have a composite function of the form y=eu(x), its derivative is given by:

dydx=eu(x)ddx(u(x))

For our function, we define the inner function as u(x)=3x+7. Differentiating this inner function with respect to x yields:

ddx(3x+7)=3

Substituting this back into the chain rule formula, we obtain the general derivative
dydx
as:

dydx=e3x+73=3e3x+7

Next, we evaluate this derivative at the point x=0 by substituting 0 for x in the derivative expression:

dydx|x=0=3e3(0)+7

Simplifying the exponent gives us the final value:

dydx|x=0=3e7

Therefore, the value of the derivative at x=0 is indeed 3e7.
