derivative

e^{- x} - e^{- x} x

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (x e^{- x})

Apply the Product Rule:

(f \cdot g)^{'} = f^{'} \cdot g + f \cdot g^{'}

f = x, g = e^{- x}

= \frac{d x}{d x} e^{- x} + \frac{d}{d x} (e^{- x}) x

\frac{d x}{d x} = 1

\frac{d}{d x} (e^{- x}) = - e^{- x}

= 1 \cdot e^{- x} + (- e^{- x}) x

Simplify

= e^{- x} - e^{- x} x
