How do you find the derivative of #1000/x#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Power Rule 1 Answer Alexander Jul 9, 2016 Let #y=1000/x# or #y=1000x^(-1)#, then by the power rule for derivatives we get #y'=(-1000)/(x^2)# Explanation: The power rule for derivatives states that #d/dx[u^(n)]=n*u^(n-1)#.
