derivative of

f (x) = \frac{5}{x}

- \frac{5}{x ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{5}{x})

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x})

Apply exponent rule:

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

= 5 \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 1})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= 5 (- 1 \cdot x^{- 1 - 1})

Simplify

5 (- 1 \cdot x^{- 1 - 1}) : - \frac{5}{x ^{2}}

= - \frac{5}{x ^{2}}

n \to \infty lim (sin (\frac{nπ}{4}))

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

\frac{d}{d x} (x sec (x) + 3)

\int \frac{2 x}{2 x + 1} d x
