use product rule
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
and chain rule for the exponent of -2x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it e^(-2x)*(1-2x)
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
i recommend using a substitution to make the comprehension a little easier
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
how did you get that vintage type? Can you show us your work so we can guarentee every step is correct?

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{d}{dx}xe^{-2x} = 1\times e^{-2x}+xe^{-2x}\times(-2x) }\)
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{d}{dx}xe^{-2x} = e^{-2x}-2x^2e^{-2x} }\)
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\LARGE\color{black}{ \frac{d}{dx}xe^{-2x} = e^{-2x}(1-2x^2) }\) you were a bit off.

hi solomon
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ d }{ dx }\left( x e ^{-x} \right)=x*e ^{-2x}*(-2)+1*e ^{-2x}=\left( 1-2x \right)e ^{-2x}\]

so you are correct vintage Typewriter.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
ophh true, I miss did it
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
I didn;t derive the exponent, but just multiplied by it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correction\[write \frac{ d }{ dx }\left( x e ^{-2x} =\right)\]
