Solve 1/-7n^-11

$$\frac { 1 } { - 7 n ^ { - 11 } }$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{n^{11}}{7}$$

Steps for Raising Power to Another Power

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{1}{-7n^{-11}}$$

To raise the product of two or more numbers to a power, raise each number to the power and take their product.

$$\frac{1}{-7}\times \frac{1}{n^{-11}}$$

Raise -7 to the power -1.

$$-\frac{1}{7}\times \frac{1}{n^{-11}}$$

To raise a power to another power, multiply the exponents.

$$-\frac{1}{7}n^{-11\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply -11 times -1.

$$-\frac{1}{7}n^{11}$$

Differentiate w.r.t. n

$$-\frac{11n^{10}}{7}$$

Steps Using Chain Rule

If F is the composition of two differentiable functions f\left(u\right) and u=g\left(x\right), that is, if F\left(x\right)=f\left(g\left(x\right)\right), then the derivative of F is the derivative of f with respect to u times the derivative of g with respect to x, that is, \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(F)\left(x\right)=\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(f)\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(g)\left(x\right).

$$-\left(-7n^{-11}\right)^{-1-1}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}n}(-7n^{-11})$$

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}.

$$-\left(-7n^{-11}\right)^{-2}\left(-11\right)\left(-7\right)n^{-11-1}$$

Simplify.

$$-77n^{-12}\left(-7n^{-11}\right)^{-2}$$
