b^x = (e^ln(b))^x = e^( ln(b) * x ), and its derivative then is (by the chain rule) ln(b) exp( ln(b) * x ) = ln(b) * b^x.

I relax when it's turbulent. The airframe can handle it [1], and at least the pilots are awake. [1] There's a speed limit for turbulence penetration, chosen such that the wings will stall, rather than over-stress the airframe.

Sorry, but these are conspiracy theories without good evidence. You don't think other countries have good mathematicians? And the long arm of your government agencies reaches all of them?
