derivative of

\frac{1}{x ^{6}}

- \frac{6}{x ^{7}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{x ^{6}})

Apply exponent rule:

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

= \frac{d}{d x} (x^{- 6})

Apply the Power Rule:

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

= - 6 x^{- 6 - 1}

Simplify

- 6 x^{- 6 - 1} : - \frac{6}{x ^{7}}

= - \frac{6}{x ^{7}}
