Derivatives. Could someone tell me what the derivative of 100/x^2 would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100/x^2 = 100x^-2? and then -200/x^3?

OpenStudy (noelgreco):

Yes. Always use negative (or opposite) exponents instead of powers in the denominator unless you want to use the quotient rule all the time.
