Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the derivative of the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \), we will use the definition of the derivative. The derivative \( f'(x) \) is defined as: \[ f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} \] ### Step 1: Substitute \( f(x) \) into the derivative formula We start by substituting \( f(x) = \frac{1}{x} \) into the derivative formula: ...
