In this post, we estimate the limit of \frac{a^{h} - 1}{h} as h \rightarrow 0 using technology, for various values of a>0 . This syllabus dot point is a part of the QCE Maths Methods course under the topic Further Differentiation and Applications 2 and sub-part Calculus of Exponential Functions, specifically focussing on the limits in the first principle differentiation of exponential functions.
