Find the Derivative - d/dx 3/(x^2)

Problem

d()/d(x)3/(x2)

Solution

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

3/(x2)=3*x(−2)

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

(d(3)*x(−2))/d(x)=3⋅(−2)*x(−2−1)

3. Simplify the coefficients and the exponent.

3⋅(−2)*x(−3)=−6*x(−3)

4. Rewrite the result using a positive exponent by moving the variable back to the denominator.

−6*x(−3)=−6/(x3)

Final Answer

d()/d(x)3/(x2)=−6/(x3)
