Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{x^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiate using the power rule

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[/tex](a[tex]x^{n}[/tex]) = na[tex]x^{n-1}[/tex]

Given

f(x) = - [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex] = - [tex]x^{-1}[/tex], then

f'(x) = - 1 × - 1 × [tex]x^{-1-1}[/tex] = [tex]x^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{x^2}[/tex]
