True or False Algebra 2 question?

The slope of the tangent line to the function f(x) = e^x at the point (0,1) equals 1.





True or False?





I feel it is false because it is missing one important word - EXPONENTIAL. What do you think?





Thank you!True or False Algebra 2 question?
True.





f(x) = e^x





f'(x) = e^x





f'(0) = 1





The complete equation for the tangent line is y = x+1.True or False Algebra 2 question?
e^x is the exponential function, so f '(x)=e^x, and f '(0)=1, so the answer is true.
