$$\frac { - 16 h j k } { - 8 h j }$$

Evaluate

$$2k$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 8hj in both numerator and denominator.

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

Anything divided by -1 gives its opposite.

$$2k$$

Differentiate w.r.t. k

$$2$$

Steps Using Definition of a Derivative

Cancel out 8hj in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}k}(\frac{-2k}{-1})$$

Anything divided by -1 gives its opposite.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}k}(2k)$$

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

$$2k^{1-1}$$

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$2k^{0}$$

For any term t except 0, t^{0}=1.

$$2\times 1$$

For any term t, t\times 1=t and 1t=t.

$$2$$
