Question

how to differentiate e^-x^2?

Answer 1

chain rule for this one
the derivative of \(e^{whatever}\) is \[e^{\text{whatever}}\times \text{ the derivative of whatever}\]

Answer 2

in this case your "whatever" is \(-x^2\) and the derivative of \(-x^2\) is \(-2x\) so you are good to go

Answer 3

wait so I answer -2e^-x^2?

Answer 4

not quite, you missed the \(x\) out front
\[-2xe^{-x^2}\]

Answer 5

okay thank you so much!! :D
