Differentiate e^(-x^2/(4t))/sqrt(t)

\frac{d}{dt}\left[\frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{\sqrt{t}}\right]

Step by step

  1. \frac{d}{dt}\left[\frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{\sqrt{t}}\right]

    Start from the derivative to compute.

  2. e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d t} \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} + \frac{\frac{\partial}{\partial t} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{\sqrt{t}}

    Product rule with u = \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} and v = e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}: (uv)′ = u′v + uv′.

  3. e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d t} \frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} + \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \left(- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}\right)}{\sqrt{t}}

    Chain rule: (eᵘ)′ = eᵘ, times u′ where u = - \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}.

  4. \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{\partial}{\partial t} \left(- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}\right)}{\sqrt{t}} - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}

    Power rule: (xⁿ)′ = n·xⁿ⁻¹ with n = - \frac{1}{2}.

  5. - \frac{x^{2} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d t} \frac{1}{t}}{4 \sqrt{t}} - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}

    Constant multiple rule: pull the constant out.

  6. - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}} + \frac{x^{2} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{4 t^{\frac{5}{2}}}

    Power rule: (xⁿ)′ = n·xⁿ⁻¹ with n = -1.

  7. \frac{\left(- 2 t + x^{2}\right) e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{4 t^{\frac{5}{2}}}

    Simplify.

f'(t) = \frac{\left(- 2 t + x^{2}\right) e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{4 t^{\frac{5}{2}}}
