Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: Clean-dependency layer: derivative and metric continuity of t -> exp(ct); replaces lem:scaled-exponential-derivative-2026a, which cites a redacted continuity definition. Grounded in def:real-numbers-2026a.

Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, let (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}) be the real line, let exp\exp be the exponential function, let cRc\in\mathbb{R}, and define Ec:RRE_c:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} by

Ec(t)=exp(ct)(tR).E_c(t)=\exp(ct)\qquad(t\in\mathbb{R}).

The set R\mathbb{R} is an interval, and every tRt\in\mathbb{R} is an interior point of it, since t1,t+1Rt-1,t+1\in\mathbb{R} satisfy t1<t<t+1t-1<t<t+1 by claims 6 and 1 of Elementary Order Arithmetic in an Ordered Field.

Then the following hold.

1. (Derivative) EcE_c is differentiable at every tRt\in\mathbb{R}, with

Ec(t)=cexp(ct).E_c'(t)=c\,\exp(ct).

2. (Continuity) EcE_c is continuous on R\mathbb{R}, regarded as a map from (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}) into (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}).
