Solve 24x^2div(-6x)

$$24 x ^ { 2 } \div ( - 6 x )$$

Evaluate

$$-4x$$

Steps for Quotient of Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{2}}{\left(-6\right)^{1}x^{1}}$$

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

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{2-1}}{\left(-6\right)^{1}}$$

Subtract 1 from 2.

$$\frac{24^{1}x^{1}}{\left(-6\right)^{1}}$$

Divide 24 by -6.

$$-4x^{1}$$

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

$$-4x$$

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$-4$$

Solution Steps

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

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(\frac{24}{-6}x^{2-1})$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}(-4x^{1})$$

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}.

$$-4x^{1-1}$$

Do the arithmetic.

$$-4x^{0}$$

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

$$-4$$
