Are there an infinite amount of functions that you can take the derivative of an infinite amount of times without ever being equal to zero?
I'll try to clarify- if you take the derivative of f(x) an infinite amount of times and it doesn't equal zero, is there an infinite amount of functions f(x) could be? (A proof would be cool!)
f(x) = e^x is a possibility, as it is it's own derivative, and I believe the trigonometric functions work? Are there others?
Edit: Of different forms! Obviously the functions e^x, 2e^x, 3e^x... continues for infinity and all fit the description.
It might be more helpful to consider the complement of the question: what functions do not differentiate to zero eventually:
Only real polynomials eventually differentiate to zero.
