Identify Function: Identify the function to differentiate.We are given the function g(x)=x101. We need to find its derivative, which is denoted by g′(x).
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule for differentiation.The power rule states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅x(n−1). In this case, we can rewrite the function as g(x)=x−10 to apply the power rule.
Differentiate Using Rule: Differentiate using the power rule.Taking the derivative of x−10 with respect to x gives us:g′(x)=−10⋅x−10−1g′(x)=−10⋅x−11
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.The simplified form of the derivative is:g′(x)=−x1110
