Solution

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = - \frac{1}{2}$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right) = - \frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right) = - \frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$$A
