derivative of 1/(sqrt(x+5))

Solution

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

Solution

- \frac{1}{2 ( x + 5 ) ^{\frac{3}{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)^{- \frac{1}{2}})

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{2 ( x + 5 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x + 5)

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 5 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x + 5)

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

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 5 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \cdot 1

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 5 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}
