Question

How do i differentiate x-2/x^2

Answer 1

do you mean (x-2)/x^2 or x - 2/x^2

Answer 2

(x-2)/x^2

Answer 3

\[\frac{ d \frac{ u }{ v}}{ dx }=\frac{ v*\frac{ du }{ dx } - u*\frac{ dv }{ dx }}{ v^2 }\]

Answer 4

u=x-2
v=x^2

Answer 5

can u do it now ??

Answer 6

No sorry. I get to the stage where i have simplified it to be \[\frac{ 1 }{ x } - \frac{ 2 }{ x^2 }\]
But i don't know how to get the rational expression into a negative power.

Answer 7

u got the wrong ans

Answer 8

u=x-2 and v= x^2
find du/dx and dv/dx and put in the formula i gave earlier

Answer 9

I have converted the \[\frac{ 1 }{ x }\] to \[x^-1\] but i don't know how to convert \[\frac{ 2 }{ x^2 }\] . Can you please show me how you can convert it... I know how to do the rest....

Answer 10

\[\large \dfrac{1}{a^n} = a^{-n}\]

Answer 11

\[\large \dfrac{2}{x^2} = 2 \times \dfrac{1}{x^2} = 2 \times x^{-2}\]

Answer 12

is there a reasons why you times by 2 if the original question is divided by 2

Answer 13

multiply \(\large a\) and \(\large \dfrac{1}{b}\)

what do you get ?

Answer 14

a/ab

Answer 15

\[\frac{ a }{ab }\]
