Question

How do you compute the fourth derivative of 1/x^2

Answer 1

Or does this not exist.

Answer 2

just repeat power rule you will get a nice pattern

Answer 3

\[\frac{d}{dx}x^{-2}=-2x^{-3}\] etc

Answer 4

\[6x^{-4}\]
\[-24x^{-5}\] and so on

Answer 5

OK ok, I'm thinking of the 4th anti derivative. Sorry for the ignorance...and thanks for the help.

Answer 6

power rule in reverse; except when you get to ln(x)

Answer 7

yw

Answer 8

you could find antiderivatives too if you like. they will exist for sure
