    Eigenvalue Question (p2.14 in Quantum Chemistry and Spectroscopy)

    function: e^-(x^2/2) operator: d^2/dx^2 -x^2 The answer key says the function is an eigenfunction of the operator with an eigenvalue of -6. I can't figure out how to reach this conclusion. Also, Wolfram Alpha says d/dx(d/(dx)e^(-x^2/2)) = e^(-x^2/2) (x^2-1). Isn't this inconsistent with...
