Solution

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

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dt} \left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \frac{1}{t^{2}}\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dt} \left(\frac{1}{t}\right) = - \frac{1}{t^{2}}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dt} \left(\frac{1}{t}\right) = - \frac{1}{t^{2}}$$$A
