`f(x) = 4^x` Find the derivative of the function

 To find the derivative, we will use the following formula:


`d/(dx)(a^x) = a^x*ln(a)* dx`


By comparison,  `a^x = 4^x ` then `a=4` , `x=x` , and` d/(dx)(x)=1`


Applying the formula, we get:


`f'(x) = 4^x*ln(4)* 1`


          ` =4^x ln(4)`


So, `f'(x)=4^x ln(4)` is the final answer
