The solution

You have entered [src]
 x*(-2)
E      
$$e^{\left(-2\right) x}$$
E^(x*(-2))
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:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

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