The solution

You have entered [src]
 2  -x
x *E  
$$e^{- x} x^{2}$$
x^2*E^(-x)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    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]
   2  -x        -x
- x *e   + 2*x*e  
$$- x^{2} e^{- x} + 2 x e^{- x}$$
The second derivative [src]
/     2      \  -x
\2 + x  - 4*x/*e  
$$\left(x^{2} - 4 x + 2\right) e^{- x}$$
The third derivative [src]
/      2      \  -x
\-6 - x  + 6*x/*e  
$$\left(- x^{2} + 6 x - 6\right) e^{- x}$$
