Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{-50}{x^{6}}-\frac{2}{x^{5}}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$

Work Step by Step

Written in exponential form, ... sum/difference rule... $f^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[10x^{-5}]+\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{2}x^{-4}]-\frac{d}{dx}[x^{-1}]+\frac{d}{dx}[2]$ ... constant multiple ... $=10\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[x^{-5}]+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dx}[x^{-4}]-\frac{d}{dx}[x^{-1}]+\frac{d}{dx}[2]$ ... power, constant rules... $=10(-5x^{-6})+\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(-4x^{-5})-(-x^{-2})+0$ $=\displaystyle \frac{-50}{x^{6}}-\frac{2}{x^{5}}+\frac{1}{x^{2}}$
