Find the derivative of LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(x) = \cot^{-1}{\left(7 x \right)} .

Using the chain rule gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{df}{du}\frac{du}{dx} where LaTeX:  \displaystyle f(u) = \cot^{-1}{\left(u \right)} and LaTeX:  \displaystyle u = 7 x gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle f'(x) = - \frac{7}{49 x^{2} + 1}
