If y = (5 - x)\(^{-3}\), and \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)

  • A. \(\frac{-15}{(5 - x)^4}\)
  • B. \(\frac{-3}{(5 - x)^4}\)
  • C. \(\frac{3}{(5 - x)^4}\)
  • D. \(\frac{15}{(5 - x)^4}\)

Correct Answer: B. \(\frac{-3}{(5 - x)^4}\)

Explanation

y = (5 - x)\(^{-3}\)

\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = -3(5 - x)\(^{-4}\)

= \(\frac{-3}{(5 - x)^4}\)
