How to solve (-(x)^(2))/(-x)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Steps for Quotient of Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

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

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

$$x^{2-1}$$

Subtract $1$ from $2$.

$$x^{1}$$

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

Solution Steps

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent.

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

Do the arithmetic.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(x^{1})$$

The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is $0$. The derivative of $ax^{n}$ is $nax^{n-1}$.

$$x^{1-1}$$
