\frac{1}{x^{5}}

1/(x^5)

Detail solution

Let $u = x^{5}$ .
Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} x^{5}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $x^{5}$ goes to $5 x^{4}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$- \frac{5}{x^{6}}$

The answer is:

- \frac{5}{x^{6}}
