Find the equation of the tangent to the curve y = exp(x) at the point ( a, exp(a) ). Deduce the equation of the tangent to the curve which passes through the point (0,1) .

The tangent to the curve is a straight line and will hence have the form f(x) = m * x + c, where m is the gradient of the tangent line and c is the y-intercept of the tangent line.
The gradient of th...
