Math Problem Statement
Differentiate the following function: y = 5x^(-11)
Solution
The function given in the image is:
To differentiate this function, we will use the power rule for differentiation. The power rule states that for a function of the form , the derivative is given by:
Applying the power rule:
- The coefficient ,
- The exponent .
Now, differentiate:
Thus, the derivative is:
