Find the Derivative - d/dx 100/x

Problem

d()/d(x)100/x

Solution

1. Rewrite the expression using a negative exponent to make it easier to differentiate.

100/x=100*x(−1)

2. Apply the power rule, which states that d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

(d(100)*x(−1))/d(x)=100*(−1)*x(−1−1)

3. Simplify the coefficient and the exponent.

−100*x(−2)

4. Rewrite the result back into fraction form by moving the variable with the negative exponent to the denominator.

−100/(x2)

Final Answer

d()/d(x)100/x=−100/(x2)
