how do i differentiate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are few simple rules to folow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://people.ucsc.edu/~miglior/diffform.pdf here are the basic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(1/x ^{2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have x^-2 use the rule of a^n then you have -2x^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

usp -2/x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i differentiate that w.r.t \[x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see the pdf that a post u there are some formulas that u shoud know to diff. (x^2)'=2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula for (x^n)'=nx^x^(n-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm really confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its simple u have some basic formulas and u shoud know them and use them to find more difficult derivative (when u differen. u find d rivative )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i get\[(-2/x ^{4})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its equal to -2x^-4 then the Derivative is -8x^-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean the derivative of (1/x^2) w.r.t x^2 is equal to (-2/x^4).do i make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is wrt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with respect to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no formulas respect to x when respect to x^2 then u sustitute x^2 with t then u have 1/t and u have find derivative respet to t when u have -1/t^2 and then again subst. with x^2 and its -1/x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a lot .

no problem i am goinf to sleep ;D
