Step 1: Identify the function components. The function f(v) = v^{100} + e^v + 10 consists of three terms: v^{100}, e^v, and 10.
Step 2: Differentiate the first term v^{100}. Use the power rule, which states that the derivative of v^n is n*v^{n-1}. Therefore, the derivative of v^{100} is 100*v^{99}.
Step 3: Differentiate the second term e^v. The derivative of e^v with respect to v is simply e^v, as the exponential function is its own derivative.
Step 4: Differentiate the constant term 10. The derivative of a constant is 0, as constants do not change with respect to the variable.
Step 5: Combine the derivatives of each term. The derivative of the function f(v) is the sum of the derivatives of its individual terms: 100*v^{99} + e^v + 0.
