X^-5

[proud quiver]

Differentiation: I got -80x^-5 for this equation, do we have to convert it to -80/x^5? (Removing the minus)

How did you get a negative power?

[proud quiver]

Wrong question sorry**

Differentiate 20x^-4 + 9

[onyx wren]

Ah, ok. Yeah, the derivative here is -80x^(-5).
Whether to convert that to -80/x^5 or not is up to you.

[proud quiver]

Oh so both would be correct?

[onyx wren]

Yes.

[proud quiver]

Or is there one that is preffered

[onyx wren]

Nah, it's pretty much subjective.

[proud quiver]

Okay

Thank you

[onyx wren]
