derivative of

y = x + \frac{2}{x}

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

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (x + \frac{2}{x})

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

= \frac{d x}{d x} + \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2}{x})

\frac{d x}{d x} = 1

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

= 1 - \frac{2}{x ^{2}}
