Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
The derivative of is itself.
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
/ x \
| e | x
|1 - -------|*e
| x|
\ -1 + e /
----------------
x
-1 + e
/ x 2*x \
| 3*e 2*e | x
|1 - ------- + ----------|*e
| x 2|
| -1 + e / x\ |
\ \-1 + e / /
-----------------------------
