Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that d d x [ f ( x ) g ( x ) ] is g ( x ) d d x [ f ( x ) ] f ( x ) d d x [ g ( x ) ] g ( x ) 2
where f ( x ) = x 2 and g ( x ) = e x
e x d d x [ x 2 ] x 2 d d x [ e x ] ( e x ) 2
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that d d x [ x n ] is n x n 1 where n=2.
e x ( 2 x ) x 2 d d x [ e x ] ( e x ) 2
Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that d d x [ a x ] is a x ln ( a ) where a=e.
e x ( 2 x ) x 2 e x ( e x ) 2
Simplify.
2 x e x x 2 e x
