derivative of

\frac{1}{x + 5}

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{( x + 5 ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (x + 5)

= - \frac{1}{( x + 5 ) ^{2}} \frac{d}{d x} (x + 5)

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

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

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{( x + 5 ) ^{2}}

\int t (2 t - 3 t) d t

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} (- x y z^{2})

\int 7 sec^{3} (3 x) d x

\int (\frac{8}{3} + 4 u^{2}) d u
