f(x) = 2/x = 2x^-1
so dy/dx = -2x^-2 = -2/x²
f(x) = 2/x
This can be re-written as f(x) = 2x^-1 according the to the laws of exponents. Now, we just take the derivative normally:
f(x) = 2x^-1
f ' (x) = -1 × 2x^(-1-1) = -2x^-2
The above can be re-written in quotient form as f ' (x) = -2/x²

What is the derivative of 1 over x?
Derivative of 1/x 1/x = x-1 Take the derivative (-1)x(-1-1) = -x-2 = 1/x2
What is the derivative of 2 to the power of x?
if f(x)=kx, f'(x)=ln(k)*kx. Therefore, the derivative of 2x is ln(2)*2x.
What is the derivative of 1 divided by root x?
(1/2(x^-1/2))/x
How do you find the second derivative?
Afetr you take the first derivative you take it again Example y = x^2 dy/dx = 2x ( first derivative) d2y/dx2 = 2 ( second derivative)
How do you find the delta x and delta y on a graph?
The delta x and delta y (dx and dy) are the changes in x and in y. When you take the derivative you are provided with a ratio (rise over run) of these changes. Take f(x)=3x^2 + 2x Derivative: (dy/dx)=6x + 2 From this, you can solve for dx and dy algebraically.
What is the derivative of 1 over x?
Derivative of 1/x 1/x = x-1 Take the derivative (-1)x(-1-1) = -x-2 = 1/x2
What is the derivative of 2lnx?
The derivative of ln x is 1/x The derivative of 2ln x is 2(1/x) = 2/x
What is the derivative of x plus root x?
Derivative of x = 1, and since sqrt(x) = x^(1/2), derivative of x^(1/2) = (1/2)*(x^(-1/2))Add these two terms together and derivative = 1 + 1/(2*sqrt(x))
What is the derivative of 2x?
-2
What is the derivative of x times root x?
x*x1/2= x3/2 Derivative = 3/2 * x1/2
What is the derivative of one over x?
1/x = x-1d/dx(x-1) = -x-2 = -1/x2
What is the derivative of 1 over the square root of x?
-1/2*x-3/2 which is equal to -1/[2*x3/2]
What is the derivative of e to the power of -2 times x?
e^(-2x) * -2 The derivative of e^F(x) is e^F(x) times the derivative of F(x)
Find the derivative of 2x2?
2 x 2 = 4. 4 is a constant. The derivative of a constant is always 0. Therefore, The derivative of 2 x 2 is zero.
What is the derivative of x to the power of e?
e^[ln(x^2)]=x^2, so your question is really, "What is the derivative of x^2," to which the answer is 2x.
What is the derivative of e to the power of 2lnx?
Your expression simplifies to just x^2 {with the restriction that x > 0}. The derivative of x^2 is 2*x
What is the anti-derivative of x over 1?
X/1 is just X. so (1/2)X2 + C or X2/2 + C
