derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

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

Simplify

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= - (- 2 x^{- 2 - 1})

Simplify

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

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

\int \frac{4}{1 + 5 x} d x

\frac{d y}{d x} = - (1 + y)^{4}, y (1) = 2

\frac{1}{2} (e^{x} + e^{- x})

\int 4 8 - 3 x d x

12 arctan (s)
