1. **Problem (i):** Given $y = \frac{x^2 - x}{e^x}$, find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ and simplify.
2. **Formula:** Use the quotient rule for derivatives: $$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{v\frac{du}{dx} - u\frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}$$ where $u = x^2 - x$ and $v = e^x$.
3. **Calculate derivatives:**
- $\frac{du}{dx} = 2x - 1$
- $\frac{dv}{dx} = e^x$
4. **Apply quotient rule:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^x(2x - 1) - (x^2 - x)e^x}{(e^x)^2}$$
5. **Factor numerator:**
$$= \frac{e^x[(2x - 1) - (x^2 - x)]}{e^{2x}}$$
6. **Simplify inside brackets:**
$$(2x - 1) - (x^2 - x) = 2x - 1 - x^2 + x = -x^2 + 3x - 1$$
7. **Rewrite derivative:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{e^x(-x^2 + 3x - 1)}{e^{2x}}$$
8. **Simplify fraction by canceling $e^x$:**
$$= \frac{\cancel{e^x}(-x^2 + 3x - 1)}{\cancel{e^x} e^x} = \frac{-x^2 + 3x - 1}{e^x}$$

1. **Problem (ii):** Find the derivative of $\tan^2(5x)$ and simplify.
2. **Rewrite function:**
$$y = (\tan(5x))^2$$
3. **Use chain rule:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\tan(5x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[\tan(5x)]$$
4. **Derivative of $\tan(5x)$:**
$$\frac{d}{dx}[\tan(5x)] = \sec^2(5x) \cdot 5 = 5\sec^2(5x)$$
5. **Combine:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2\tan(5x) \cdot 5\sec^2(5x) = 10\tan(5x)\sec^2(5x)$$
**Final answers:**
(i) $$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-x^2 + 3x - 1}{e^x}$$
(ii) $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 10\tan(5x)\sec^2(5x)$$
