Differentiate e^(-x^2/(4t))/sqrt(t)
Step by step
- \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{\sqrt{t}}\right]
Differentiate 2 times, one derivative at a time.
- \frac{\frac{\partial}{\partial x} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{\sqrt{t}}
Constant multiple rule: pull the constant out.
- \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}\right)}{\sqrt{t}}
Chain rule: (eᵘ)′ = eᵘ, times u′ where u = - \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}.
- - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d x} x^{2}}{4 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Constant multiple rule: pull the constant out.
- - \frac{x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Power rule: (xⁿ)′ = n·xⁿ⁻¹ with n = 2.
- f^{(1)}(x) = - \frac{x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
That is derivative number 1.
- - \frac{\frac{\partial}{\partial x} x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Constant multiple rule: pull the constant out.
- - \frac{x \frac{\partial}{\partial x} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} + e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d x} x}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Product rule with u = x and v = e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}: (uv)′ = u′v + uv′.
- - \frac{x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}\right) + e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d x} x}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Chain rule: (eᵘ)′ = eᵘ, times u′ where u = - \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}.
- - \frac{x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}\right) + e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
d/dx of x is 1.
- - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} - \frac{x e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} \frac{d}{d x} x^{2}}{4 t}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Constant multiple rule: pull the constant out.
- - \frac{e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}} - \frac{x^{2} e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{2 t}}{2 t^{\frac{3}{2}}}
Power rule: (xⁿ)′ = n·xⁿ⁻¹ with n = 2.
- \frac{\left(- 2 t + x^{2}\right) e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{4 t^{\frac{5}{2}}}
Simplify.
- f^{(2)}(x) = \frac{\left(- 2 t + x^{2}\right) e^{- \frac{x^{2}}{4 t}}}{4 t^{\frac{5}{2}}}
That is derivative number 2.
