derivative of

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

\frac{5 x ^{4}}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{5}}{2})

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 x^{5 - 1}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 x^{5 - 1} : \frac{5 x ^{4}}{2}

= \frac{5 x ^{4}}{2}
