(\partial)/(\partial t)(x/t)

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\frac{x}{t})

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

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\frac{x}{t})

Treat

x

as a constant

Take the constant out:

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

= x \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (\frac{1}{t})

Apply exponent rule:

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

= x \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (t^{- 1})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= x (- 1 \cdot t^{- 1 - 1})

Simplify

x (- 1 \cdot t^{- 1 - 1}) : - \frac{x}{t ^{2}}

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