Rewrite function: We are asked to find the derivative of the function h(x)=x111. To do this, we will use the power rule for derivatives, which states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅x(n−1). In this case, we can rewrite the function as h(x)=x−11 to apply the power rule.
Apply power rule: Applying the power rule to h(x)=x−11, we get:h′(x)=(−11)×x(−11)−1This simplifies to:h′(x)=−11×x−12
Simplify derivative: We can rewrite the derivative in a more conventional form by moving the x term to the denominator: h′(x)=−x1211 This is the simplified form of the derivative of the function h(x).
