1. **Problem statement:** Find the $n$-th derivative of the function $$y = x^{2m} e^{ax}$$ using Leibniz's rule.
2. **Recall Leibniz's rule for the $n$-th derivative of a product:**
$$\frac{d^n}{dx^n}[u(x)v(x)] = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} u^{(k)}(x) v^{(n-k)}(x)$$
where $u^{(k)}$ and $v^{(n-k)}$ are the $k$-th and $(n-k)$-th derivatives of $u$ and $v$ respectively.
3. **Identify $u$ and $v$:**
Let $$u = x^{2m}, \quad v = e^{ax}$$
4. **Derivatives of $u$:**
The $k$-th derivative of $u$ is
$$u^{(k)} = \frac{d^k}{dx^k} x^{2m} = \frac{(2m)!}{(2m-k)!} x^{2m-k}$$
for $k \leq 2m$, and zero otherwise.
5. **Derivatives of $v$:**
Since $v = e^{ax}$,
$$v^{(n-k)} = a^{n-k} e^{ax}$$
6. **Apply Leibniz's rule:**
$$\frac{d^n}{dx^n} y = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} \frac{(2m)!}{(2m-k)!} x^{2m-k} a^{n-k} e^{ax}$$
7. **Note the upper limit:**
Since $u^{(k)}=0$ for $k > 2m$, the sum upper limit is $\min(n, 2m)$.
8. **Final expression:**
$$\frac{d^n}{dx^n} y = e^{ax} \sum_{k=0}^{\min(n, 2m)} \binom{n}{k} \frac{(2m)!}{(2m-k)!} x^{2m-k} a^{n-k}$$
