The derivative of e^u with respect to u is e^u? If youre thinking of u(x) and the chain rule then the derivative
d e^(u(x)) / dx = du/dx e^u
Probably help to upload the original question?

okay thanku, how come we don't divide by the u like -1/u e^u +c. or is that just the rule? thanks

You divide through by the coefficient of u. So if it was -e^3u, the result would be -1/3 e^3u.
