Theorem

The function $\map f x = \exp x$ is strictly increasing.


Proof

By definition, the exponential function is the inverse of the natural logarithm function.

From Logarithm is Strictly Increasing, $\ln x$ is strictly increasing.

The result follows from Inverse of Strictly Monotone Function.
