x*E     + 4
$$e^{- 5 x} x + 4$$
x*E^(-5*x) + 4
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

      and .

      To find :

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      To find :

      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:

      Now plug in to the quotient rule:

    2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
 -5*x        -5*x
E     - 5*x*e    
$$- 5 x e^{- 5 x} + e^{- 5 x}$$
The second derivative [src]
              -5*x
5*(-2 + 5*x)*e    
$$5 \left(5 x - 2\right) e^{- 5 x}$$
The third derivative [src]
              -5*x
25*(3 - 5*x)*e    
$$25 \left(3 - 5 x\right) e^{- 5 x}$$
