Detail solution
  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of is itself.

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

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      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:

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
         2    
      - x  - 2
-2*x*e        
$$- 2 x e^{- x^{2} - 2}$$
The second derivative [src]
                     2
  /        2\  -2 - x 
2*\-1 + 2*x /*e       
$$2 \left(2 x^{2} - 1\right) e^{- x^{2} - 2}$$
The third derivative [src]
                      2
    /       2\  -2 - x 
4*x*\3 - 2*x /*e       
$$4 x \left(3 - 2 x^{2}\right) e^{- x^{2} - 2}$$
