Answer

$y^{\prime}=-\frac{x}{1+x}$

Work Step by Step

$y=\ln \left(e^{-x}+x e^{-x}\right)\\ y^{\prime}=\frac{1}{e^{-x}+x e^{-x}} \times\left(-\frac{1}{e^{x}}+(x)\left(-e^{-x}\right)+\left(e^{-x}\right)(1))\right.\\ y^{\prime}=\frac{1}{e^{-x}+x e^{-x}} \times\left(\frac{-1-x+1}{e^{x}}\right)\\ y^{\prime}=-\frac{x}{1+x}$
