derivative of

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

- \frac{1}{x ^{2}} + \frac{4}{x ^{3}}

Solution steps

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

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

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

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

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2}{x ^{2}}) = - \frac{4}{x ^{3}}

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

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{x ^{2}} + \frac{4}{x ^{3}}
