1. Differentiate the function with respect to $x$ using the product rule and chain rule

dydx=(3x2)ddx(e5−2x)+(e5−2x)ddx(3x2)\frac{dy}{dx} = (3x^2)\frac{d}{dx}(e^{5-2x}) + (e^{5-2x})\frac{d}{dx}(3x^2)
dydx=3x2(−2e5−2x)+e5−2x(6x)\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2(-2e^{5-2x}) + e^{5-2x}(6x)

2. Factorise the derivative

dydx=−6x2e5−2x+6xe5−2x\frac{dy}{dx} = -6x^2e^{5-2x} + 6xe^{5-2x}
dydx=6xe5−2x(1−x)\frac{dy}{dx} = 6xe^{5-2x}(1 - x)

3. Set the derivative to be less than zero for a decreasing function and solve the inequality

For a decreasing function, dydx<0\frac{dy}{dx} < 0.
6xe5−2x(1−x)<06xe^{5-2x}(1 - x) < 0
Since e5−2x>0e^{5-2x} > 0 for all real xx, we have:
x(1−x)<0x(1 - x) < 0
x(x−1)>0x(x - 1) > 0
x<0x < 0 or x>1x > 1

Answer

x<0x < 0 or x>1x > 1
