Answer:

[tex]f'(-8)=\frac{9}{64}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

[tex]f(x)=\frac{-9}{x}[/tex]

We can rewrite it as

[tex]f(x)=-9x^{-1}[/tex]

Now we can apply the power rule

[tex]f'(x)=9x^{-2}[/tex]

Now we can rewrite it

[tex]f'(x)=\frac{9}{x^{2} }[/tex]

Now we can plug in x=-8

[tex]f'(-8)=\frac{9}{(-8)^{2} }\\f'(-8)=\frac{9}{64}[/tex]
