derivative of

f (x) = \frac{4}{x ^{2}}

- \frac{8}{x ^{3}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{4}{x ^{2}})

Take the constant out:

(a \cdot f)^{'} = a \cdot f^{'}

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x ^{2}})

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a} = a^{- 1}

= 4 \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 2})

Apply the Power Rule:

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{a}) = a \cdot x^{a - 1}

= 4 (- 2 x^{- 2 - 1})

Simplify

4 (- 2 x^{- 2 - 1}) : - \frac{8}{x ^{3}}

= - \frac{8}{x ^{3}}

3 x^{2}

f (x) = x, at x = 4

ln (2 x - 1) - ln (x - 1)

f (x) = sin (2 x)

y = 3 x + 5
