Question

I'm confused about what they're doing.  It looks like they're using the chain rule on the e^-1/x.  Do I need to do that every time the exponent has a variable in it?

Given:
The function y =x²e7.
Differentiate equation (1) with respect to x on both sides.

Let u = x² and v = e7.
Apply product rule and obtain as,
