$$\frac { 5 } { 5 } - \frac { 2 x } { 1 }$$

Evaluate

$$1-2x$$

Solution Steps

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

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

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$1-2x$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$-2$$

Steps Using Derivative Rule for Sum

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

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

Anything divided by one gives itself.

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

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}.

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

Subtract 1 from 1.

$$-2x^{0}$$

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

$$-2$$
