$$e^{- x}$$

exp(-x)

Detail solution

Let $u = - x$ .
The derivative of $e^{u}$ is itself.
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(- x\right)$ :
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  So, the result is: $-1$
The result of the chain rule is:

$- e^{- x}$

The answer is:

$- e^{- x}$
