find the derivative of f(x)=5/x^3-2 at the point (-2,-1/2)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Hint: \(\dfrac5{x^3}\)is the same as \(5x^{-3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if I derived it I would get -15x^-4

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

exactly :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then do I plug in 2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

nope you plug in -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and that's it

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep that's it
