Solution
Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = -1$$$:
$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(- \frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)}$$Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = - \frac{1}{x^{2}}$$$.
Answer
$$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = - \frac{1}{x^{2}}$$$A
