derivative of

(x + 5)^{- 1}

- \frac{1}{( x + 5 ) ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} ((x + 5)^{- 1})

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

\frac{d}{d x} (x + 5) = 1

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

Simplify

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

d er i v a t i v e (e^{x})^{\frac{1}{3}}

d er i v a t i v e \frac{1}{( s ^{2} + 2 )}

\frac{d}{d t} (t^{3} - 6 t^{2} + 9 t)

d er i v a t i v e \frac{( 1 + e ^{x} )}{( 1 - e ^{x} )}

d er i v a t i v e 5 x^{6}
