derivative of

\frac{- x ^{2}}{2}

- x

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{- x ^{2}}{2})

Simplify

\frac{- x ^{2}}{2} : - \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

= \frac{d}{d x} (- \frac{x ^{2}}{2})

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= - \frac{1}{2} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2})

Apply the Power Rule:

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{a}) = a \cdot x^{a - 1}

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 x^{2 - 1}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 x^{2 - 1} : - x

= - x

\frac{d}{d x} (- 8 e^{- 4 x^{2}} x)

\int \frac{1}{1 + e ^{- y}} d y

f (x) = (x + x^{- 1})^{3}

\int tan^{3} (5 x) d x

y = (ln ∣ x + 8 ∣)^{7}
