(\partial)/(\partial x)((x^2)^{-1/2})

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} ((x^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}})

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

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} ((x^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}})

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \cdot 2 x : - \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

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

u (x) = 3 x^{2} - x + 6

2 cos (2 x), 2 - 2 cos (2 x), [0, \frac{π}{2}]

(6 x + 1)^{2}

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