derivative of

y = \frac{5}{x}

- \frac{5}{2 x ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

= 5 \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- \frac{1}{2}})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= 5 (- \frac{1}{2} x^{- \frac{1}{2} - 1})

Simplify

5 (- \frac{1}{2} x^{- \frac{1}{2} - 1}) : - \frac{5}{2 x ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

= - \frac{5}{2 x ^{\frac{3}{2}}}
