The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to differentiate the function \( y = 4^x \) with respect to \( x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the function**: We have the function given as \( y = 4^x \). 2. **Apply the differentiation rule for exponential functions**: The differentiation of \( a^x \) (where \( a \) is a constant) is given by the formula: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = a^x \cdot \log(a) \] In our case, \( a = 4 \). 3. **Differentiate \( y = 4^x \)**: Using the formula, we differentiate: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 4^x \cdot \log(4) \] 4. **Conclusion**: The statement that \( \frac{dy}{dx} = 4^x \) is false. The correct derivative is: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 4^x \cdot \log(4) \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 4^x \cdot \log(4) \]
