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 / / ----------------------------- x -1 + e
