To calculate the derivate of a power, where both the base and the exponent are functions of x, requires a technique called logarithmic derivation. I'll leave the details to you; it is not particularly difficult. You can look up "logarithmic differentiation" in the Wikipedia for some examples.

What is the derivative of x divided by 3?

The derivative of x divided by 3 is 1/3. This can be found using the power rule of differentiation, where the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1). In this case, x can be written as x^1, so the derivative is 1(1/3)*x^(1-1) = 1/3.

What is the derivative of 5 divided by x?

Well if you have 5/X then you can rewrite this like 5x-1. And the derivative to that is -5x-2 and that can be rewrote to: -(5/x2).


What is the second derivitive of sec x?

Write sec x as a function of sines and cosines (in this case, sec x = 1 / cos x). Then use the division formula to take the first derivative. Take the derivative of the first derivative to get the second derivative. Reminder: the derivative of sin x is cos x; the derivative of cos x is - sin x.
