(\partial)/(\partial x)(1/(x^2y^2))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}})

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

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{1}{x ^{2} y ^{2}})

Treat

y

as a constant

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{y ^{2}} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{1}{x ^{2}})

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule:

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

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

Simplify

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

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