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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

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

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

\frac{d}{d x} (2) = 0

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

= 0 - (- \frac{1}{x ^{2}})

Simplify

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