derivative of

\frac{- 2}{x}

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

Solution steps

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

Simplify

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

y = (x + 1)^{2} (x^{2} + 2 x)

\frac{tan ( x )}{2}

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

1 + ln (x)

7 x^{5} + 17
