derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

\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}}

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

x^{2} - 24 x - 12

f (x) = x^{2} + 3 x

f (x) = \frac{x + 1}{x - 1}

e^{x}
