derivative of

f (x) = \frac{1}{x ^{5}}

- \frac{5}{x ^{6}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x ^{5}})

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 5})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= - 5 x^{- 5 - 1}

Simplify

- 5 x^{- 5 - 1} : - \frac{5}{x ^{6}}

= - \frac{5}{x ^{6}}
