# f'(x) = ( x(2-x) ) / (e^(x-3)) #

Explanation:

The quotient rule is #d/dx(u/v)=(v(du)/dx - u(dv)/dx)/v^2#

So, # f(x)=x^2/e^(x-3) #
# :. f'(x) = ( e^(x-3) d/dx(x^2)-x^2d/dx(e^(x-3)) ) / (e^(x-3))^2 #
# :. f'(x) = ( e^(x-3) (2x)-x^2(e^(x-3)) ) / (e^(x-3))^2 #
# :. f'(x) = ( e^(x-3) (2x-x^2) ) / (e^(x-3))^2 #
# :. f'(x) = ( (2x-x^2) ) / (e^(x-3)) #
# :. f'(x) = ( x(2-x) ) / (e^(x-3)) #
