You can put this solution on YOUR website!


The program on this website that interprets your expressions interprets this (using standard rules of order of operations) as

f(x) = x^4*e^-8x = f%28x%29+=+x%5E4%2Ae%5E-8x

Do you perhaps (probably) mean

f(x) = x^4*e^-8x = f%28x%29+=+x%5E4%2Ae%5E%28-8x%29?

Use parentheses!!!
