Solution

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(c f{\left(x \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = \frac{1}{3}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = x$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)}{3}\right)}$$

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

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

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

Answer

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