Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve quotient rule of differentiation problems step by step online. Find the derivative d/dx(5/x). Apply the quotient rule for differentiation, which states that if f(x) and g(x) are functions and h(x) is the function defined by {\displaystyle h(x) = \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}}, where {g(x) \neq 0}, then {\displaystyle h'(x) = \frac{f'(x) \cdot g(x) - g'(x) \cdot f(x)}{g(x)^2}}. The derivative of the constant function (5) is equal to zero. x+0=x, where x is any expression. The derivative of the linear function is equal to 1.
