Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The required answer is 2x-32x12+45x8x-1+x2-x3+5x912x-32x-1

1Step 1. Given Information

The given function is f(x)=x2-x3+5x9x-1

2Step 2. Calculation

Differentiate both the sides with respect to x, we get,     

f'(x)=ddxx2-x3+5x9x-1-x2-x3+5x9ddxx-1x-12=2x-32x32-1+5(9x8)x-1-x2-x3+5x9-12x-12-1x-1=2x-32x12+45x8x-1-x2-x3+5x9-12x-32x-1=2x-32x12+45x8x-1+x2-x3+5x912x-32x-1
