Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

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

      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:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:


The answer is:

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