derivative of

\frac{2}{x}

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

Solution steps

\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}}

\int (- 4 sin (2 t)) d t

x \to 0 - lim (\frac{x ^{2}}{7} - \frac{6}{x})

\frac{d y}{d x} - \frac{2 y}{x} = x^{2}
