Applying product rule of differentiation
$begingroup$
I have been given this equation in a past exam paper, in which I am solving for eigenfunctions & eigenvalues.
The product rule has been applied to this section in the solution but I cannot work out which should be 'f' and which should be 'g'.
The result is : after dividing through by , which I understand but how do I perform the product rule on my first equation?
Thanks

I would write $$-frac{d}{dx}(e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx})=-frac{d}{dx}e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx}-e^{-2x}frac{d}{dx}(frac{dy}{dx})$$ and this is $$2e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx}-e^{-2x}frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$$
$endgroup$

Yes that makes perfect sense, thanks!

Just use $(fg)’ = f’g+fg’$ where $f = e^{-2x}$ and $g = frac{dy}{dx}$.
$$f’ = frac{d}{dx} e^{-2x} = -2e^{-2x}$$
$$g’ = frac{dfrac{dy}{dx}}{dx} = frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$$
So, considering there is a negative sign as well, putting everything together, you get
$$-left[-2e^{-2x}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}+e^{-2x}cdotfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}right] = 2e^{-2x}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}-e^{-2x}cdotfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$$

That also makes lots more sense.

I would write $$-frac{d}{dx}(e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx})=-frac{d}{dx}e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx}-e^{-2x}frac{d}{dx}(frac{dy}{dx})$$ and this is $$2e^{-2x}frac{dy}{dx}-e^{-2x}frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$$
