# (a) If $f(x) = (x^3 - x)e^x,$ find $f' (x).$(b) Check to see that your answer to part (a) is reasonable by comparing the graphs of $f$ and $f'.$

## (a) $e^{x}\left(x^{3}+3 x^{2}-x-1\right)$(b) See explanation for result

it's clear. So when you raid here, So we're gonna find the derivative of ex cute minus X times each backs. We're gonna use our product rule to get X cubed minus x the derivative of E to the X plus e to the X times the derivative of X cubed minus x No. When we differentiate it, get X cubed minus X b to the X plus e to the X terms three X square minus one and we got to simplify. Eat the x X cubed plus three X square minus X minus one for part B. We draw a graph and you look like this. You have our normal graph. We'll have our normal graph in black, then are derivative and red.
