Identify Function: Given the function g(x)=x−12, we need to find its derivative g′(x). To do this, we will use the power rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅xn−1.
Apply Power Rule: Applying the power rule to g(x)=x−12, we differentiate as follows:g′(x)=(−12)⋅x−12−1g′(x)=(−12)⋅x−13
Calculate Derivative: We have found the derivative of g(x) without making any mathematical errors. The derivative g′(x) is in its simplest form.
