Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded contains the probability density function (PDF) of a normal distribution:
To find the derivative of this function :
We'll differentiate the function with respect to . Using the chain rule and recognizing that this is a Gaussian function, we differentiate it step by step:
First, treat the constant factor as a constant, and then differentiate the exponential term. The derivative of the exponential function is , where .
The result will be:
Graph of :
The graph of this function is a normal distribution (Gaussian curve), which is symmetric about the mean with standard deviation .
Do you need further explanation of the steps, or would you like me to generate the graph of the PDF or its derivative?
