How is the derivative of 6e^[(x^2)/4] this:

6e^[(x^2)/4] [2x/4]

I understand the first part, but why the 2x/4?
 
to find the derivative of e^x you differentiate the power and multiply it by the original function the derivative of (X^2)/4 is 2x/4
to make it simliar it should be written
[2x/4] 6e^[(x^2)/4]
 
You MUST have been introduced to the Chain Rule.
