\frac{d}{d x} ((x + \frac{1}{x})^{2})

2 x - \frac{2}{x ^{3}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} ((x + \frac{1}{x})^{2})

Simplify

(x + \frac{1}{x})^{2} : x^{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

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

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

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

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

\frac{d}{d x} (2) = 0

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x ^{2}}) = - \frac{2}{x ^{3}}

= 2 x + 0 - \frac{2}{x ^{3}}

Simplify

= 2 x - \frac{2}{x ^{3}}

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (e^{x} x)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (- \frac{1}{y})

\frac{d y}{d t} = y (1 - 0.0002 y)

\int 2^{x} x d x

y^{^{''}} - 2 y^{^{'}} + 5 y = 0, y (π) = 0, y^{^{'}} (π) = 2
