$$\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + 3\right) e^{- x}$$
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    To find :

    1. The derivative of is itself.

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

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