$\frac{x^{2}}{5}$

Step 1

Since $\frac{1}{5}$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $\frac{x^{2}}{5}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{5} \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$ .

$\frac{1}{5} \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 2$ .

$\frac{1}{5} (2 x)$

Step 3
