C3 Solving a hard equation! help!

this is in the differentiation and it said to find the equation of the turning point so i put dy/dx = o and got:

xe−x(2−x)=0xe^-x(2 - x) = 0

how do i solve this?

(it says to the power of (-x))
Is that meant to be:

xe−x(2−x)xe^{-x}(2-x)

(I think this is what you meant, so you need to do this...)

Spoiler



Or:

xe−x(2−x)xe^{-x(2-x)}

??

LaTeX tip - to do e^(-x), type e^{-x}.

Now first thing to note is that you can just divide through by e^(-x) since it'll never be 0.
