SUMMARY
The differentiation of the function f(x) = x.e^(-πx²) has been confirmed as correct by multiple contributors. The derivative f'(x) = (1 - 2πx²)e^(-πx²) was derived accurately, demonstrating the application of the product rule and chain rule in calculus. An alternative method using logarithmic differentiation was also presented, yielding the same result. Both approaches validate the correctness of the differentiation process.
