Given:

\text { If } y=x|x| \text { find } \frac{d y}{d x} \text { for } x<0

Hint:

|x|=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x, & x \geq 0 \\ -x, & x<0 \end{array}\right\}

Solution:  

\begin{aligned} &y=x|x| \\\\ &y=x(-x,) \text { since } x<0 \\\\ &=-x^{2} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{2}\right)=-2 x \\\\ &\text { So, the } \frac{d y}{d x}=-2 x \end{aligned}
