derivative of

f (x) = \frac{4}{x}

- \frac{4}{x ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{4}{x})

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x})

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a} = a^{- 1}

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 1})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= 4 (- 1 \cdot x^{- 1 - 1})

Simplify

4 (- 1 \cdot x^{- 1 - 1}) : - \frac{4}{x ^{2}}

= - \frac{4}{x ^{2}}

\int \frac{3 x ^{4} - x ^{3} + 6 x ^{2}}{x ^{4}} d x

y = 12 - x^{2}, y = x^{2} - 6

\frac{d}{d x} ((cos (7 x))^{x})

x, \frac{1}{2} x, 0, 25

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{3 x - y}{3 x + y})
