Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
 -2*x
E    
$$e^{- 2 x}$$
E^(-2*x)
Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of is itself.

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

    1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      So, the result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
    -2*x
-2*e    
$$- 2 e^{- 2 x}$$
The second derivative [src]
   -2*x
4*e    
$$4 e^{- 2 x}$$
The third derivative [src]
    -2*x
-8*e    
$$- 8 e^{- 2 x}$$
