E^((-x^2)/2)
Detail solution
  1. Let u=(1)x22u = \frac{\left(-1\right) x^{2}}{2}.

  2. The derivative of eue^{u} is itself.

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(1)x22\frac{d}{d x} \frac{\left(-1\right) x^{2}}{2}:

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

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

        1. Apply the power rule: x2x^{2} goes to 2x2 x

        So, the result is: 2x- 2 x

      So, the result is: x- x

    The result of the chain rule is:

    xe(1)x22- x e^{\frac{\left(-1\right) x^{2}}{2}}

  4. Now simplify:

    xex22- x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{2}}


The answer is:

xex22- x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{2}}
