See argument below.
Explanation:
Apply chain rule
Apply power rule
Similarly,
For extrema points of
However, in this case,
Consider,
Also consider,
Hence, it seems reasonable to deduce that
This helps us visualise the graph of
The other important point we need for the graph is at
Here,
We see the point
graph{e^(1-2x) [-5.69, 5.406, -1.722, 3.827]}
