A-level - How to differentiate e^x where x is more complicated?

For exampe: e4x^3
The way to look at this is, the differential of e4x^3 = the expression itself (e4x^3 ) multiplied by the differential of whatever e is to the power of.In this example the differential of e4x^3 = e4x^3 x d(4x3)/dx = e4x^3 x 12x3 = 12x3e4x^3Will be able to lay it out more quickly when i get a writing tablet.
