Step 1.2.1

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x \cdot x}{x^{1}}]$

Step 1.2.2

Factor $x$ out of $x^{1}$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x \cdot x}{x \cdot 1}]$

Step 1.2.3

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x \cdot x}{x \cdot 1}]$

Step 1.2.4

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{d}{d x} [\frac{x}{1}]$

Step 1.2.5

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 2

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