Question

$${ x }^{ 2 } \times (- \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } )$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$-\frac{x}{2}$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$2\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)x^{2-1}$$

Multiply $2$ times $-\frac{1}{4}$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x^{2-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $2$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x^{1}$$

For any term $t$, $t^{1}=t$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}x$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{x^{2}}{4}$
