Solve x/2/x

$$x / \frac { 2 } { x }$$

Evaluate

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

Steps for the Product of Two Exponentials

Use the rules of exponents to simplify the expression.

$$\left(x^{1}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{2\times \frac{1}{x}}$$

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

$$1^{1}\left(x^{1}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}}$$

Use the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

$$1^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}\left(x^{1}\right)^{1}\times \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x}}$$

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

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

Multiply -1 times -1.

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

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents.

$$1^{1}\times \frac{1}{2}x^{1+1}$$

Add the exponents 1 and 1.

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

Raise 2 to the power -1.

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

Differentiate w.r.t. x

$$x$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Do the arithmetic.

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

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}.

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

Do the arithmetic.

$$x^{1}$$

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

$$x$$
