To find the derivative of ( y = \frac{e^x}{x^2} ) using the quotient rule, differentiate the numerator and denominator separately and apply the quotient rule formula:
[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right) = \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)}{(g(x))^2} ]
Where ( f(x) = e^x ) and ( g(x) = x^2 ). Then, find ( f'(x) ) and ( g'(x) ), and substitute into the quotient rule formula:
[ f'(x) = e^x ] [ g'(x) = 2x ]
Substitute these into the quotient rule formula:
[ y' = \frac{(e^x)(x^2) - (e^x)(2x)}{(x^2)^2} ]
Simplify:
[ y' = \frac{e^xx^2 - 2xe^x}{x^4} ]
[ y' = \frac{e^x(x^2 - 2x)}{x^4} ]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
