How do you find the derivative of #root5(x^-5)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Summary of Differentiation Rules 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Mar 29, 2016 #(d(root(5)(x^(-5))))/(dx)=-1/x^2# Explanation: #root(5)(x^(-5))=(x^(-5))^(1/5)=x^((-5)xx(1/5))=x^-1# As #(d(x^-1))/(dx)=-1*x^(-2)=-1/x^2# Hence #(d(root(5)(x^(-5))))/(dx)=-1/x^2# Answer link Related questions What is a summary of Differentiation Rules?
