ddx(ekx)=kekx\frac{d}{dx}(e^{-kx}) = -ke^{-kx}

and you know that p and k are constants, can you do it now?

Isnt it dM/dt so would it still be the same differential?

Similar, just with the constant p in front. You should understand this notation if you have covered the differentiation chapter for C3. If M is the function you can write dM/dt or d/dt (function).
