Answer

${dy}=(1-x)e^{(-x)}{dx}$

Work Step by Step

We evaluate the function: $y=xe^{-{x}}$ on differentiating the above: $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d{(xe^{(-x)})}}{dx}$ on applying the product rule: $\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{-x}{\frac{dx}{dx}}+x{\frac{de^{(-x)}}{dx}}$ or $\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{(-x)}-xe^{(-x)}$ or ${dy}=(e^{(-x)}-xe^{(-x)}){dx}$ or${dy}=(1-x)e^{(-x)}{dx}$ The final answer is: ${dy}=(1-x)e^{(-x)}{dx}$
