Question
Here we prove that if \( f(x) = e^x \) then \( f'(x) = f(x) \).

(a) Consider \( \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{e^h - 1}{h} \). Explain why, if we let \( y = e^h - 1 \) then \( \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{e^h - 1}{h} = \lim_{y \to 0} \frac{y}{\ln(y+1)} \). Be sure to justify the change from \( h \to 0 \) to \( y \to 0 \).

(b) Show, step by step, that \( \lim_{y \to 0} \frac{y}{\ln(y+1)} = \frac{1}{\lim_{y \to 0} \ln(1+y)^{1/y}} \).

(c) Show, step by step, that \( \frac{1}{\lim_{y \to 0} \ln(1+y)^{1/y}} = \ln \left( \lim_{n \to \infty} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{n} \right)^n \right) = 1 \).

(d) Use the above to prove that \( \frac{d}{dx} e^x = e^x \).
