\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2 a}{x ^{3}})

- \frac{6 a}{x ^{4}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2 a}{x ^{3}})

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 a \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x ^{3}})

Apply exponent rule:

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

= 2 a \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 3})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= 2 a (- 3 x^{- 3 - 1})

Simplify

2 a (- 3 x^{- 3 - 1}) : - \frac{6 a}{x ^{4}}

= - \frac{6 a}{x ^{4}}
