the only* non-zero function whose derivative is itself

* except its multiples such as −2 𝑒𝑥, which are... just... uh... derivative works

I think you forgot about e^x + 1, and e^x + 2, and … …

(My profs always dunked on me for forgetting the + c and I can’t resist doing it to someone else, I’m sorry)

For real tho, great explanation

But the derivative of e^x+c is just e^x (which for c!=0 is not the same). That's why the +c is added during integrating because all +c is derived to 0 and thus indistinguishable.
