$-2x^{\left(-2-1\right)}$
Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Find the derivative d/dx(x^(-2)) using the power rule. The power rule for differentiation states that if n is a real number and f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^{n-1}. Subtract the values -2 and -1. Applying the property of exponents, \displaystyle a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}, where n is a number. Multiplying the fraction by -2.
