If \(f(x)=x^3 e^{-x}\), then the value of \(f^{\prime \prime}(1)\) is equal to

  1. A \(\frac{1}{e}\)
  2. B \(-\frac{1}{e}\)
  3. C \(\frac{13}{e}\)
  4. D \(\frac{11}{e}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{e}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = 3x^2 e^{-x} - x^3 e^{-x}\) \(f''(x) = (6x e^{-x} - 3x^2 e^{-x}) - (3x^2 e^{-x} - x^3 e^{-x}) = e^{-x}(6x - 3x^2 - 3x^2 + x^3) = e^{-x}(x^3 - 6x^2 + 6x)\) \(f''(1) = e^{-1}((1)^3 - 6(1)^2 + 6(1)) = e^{-1}(1 - 6 + 6) = e^{-1}(1) = \frac{1}{e}\)
