Given, 7 Det(A - 2) = (2-2)(+6)

To find the characteristic polynomial of matrix A, we can use the formula Det(A-λI)Where I is the identity matrix of the same order as A and λ is a scalar.

So, A-λI = [a_ij - λδ_ij]

For a 2x2 matrix, A-λI = [a₁₁ - λ a₁₂, a₂₁ a - λ]

Thus the characteristic equation is:

det([a₁₁ - λ a₁₂, a₂₁) a₂₂ - λ])

= (a₁₁ - λ)(a₂₂ - λ) - a₁₂  a₂₁)

= λ² - (a₁₁ + a₂₂)λ + (a₁₁ a₂₂ - a₁₂ a₂₁)

The characteristic polynomial of A is obtained by equating the above equation to zero.

That is, P(λ) = det([a₁₁  - λ a₁₂, a₂₁ a₂₂ - λ])

= λ² - (a₁₁ + a₂₂)λ + (a₁₁ a₂₂ - a₁₂ a₂₁)

Here, 7 Det(A - 2)

= (2-2)(+6)

= 0,

so we know that λ = 2 is an eigenvalue of A.

Now to find eigenvectors for the eigenvalue λ=2,

we need to solve the equation(A-λI)x = 0, where λ = 2

This can be written as(A-2I)x = 0, where I is the identity matrix of same order as A.

Now, A - 2I = [2 -2, 1 1]

Let's row reduce to get row echelon form.

So, x₁ - 2x₂ = 0

or x₁ = 2x₂

Therefore, eigenvectors corresponding to λ = 2 is of the form [x₁ ; x₂] = [2x₂; x₂] = x₂ 2[2; 1]

Thus, eigenvectors corresponding to λ = 2 is [2; 1]T

So, the eigenvalues of the given matrix are λ=2, λ=5/2 and

the corresponding eigenvectors for each eigenvalue are: [2, 1]T and [1, -1]T respectively.

To find the matrix P, we take the eigenvectors and form the matrix whose columns are these eigenvectors. So, P = [2 1; 1 -1]

Now, P-1 = (1/3)[-1 1; -1 2]

Then, P-1AP = D, where D is a diagonal matrix with eigenvalues of A on the diagonal.

P-1AP = D

=> (1/3)[-1 1; -1 2][[2 1; 1 -1][2 -2; -1 5/2]][-1 1; -1 2]

= [2 0; 0 5/2]

Therefore, P-1AP = D

= [2 0; 0 5/2]

The context-free grammar that generates the language accepted by the npda m with transitions δ (q0, a, z) = {(q0,az)} and δ (q0, b,a) = {(q0,aa)} is represented by the production rules S → aSb | ε and T → aT | ε.

A Pushdown automaton (PDA) can be defined as a finite-state machine with the capability to use a stack that is accessible to the automaton's transitions. Context-free grammars (CFGs) can be translated into PDAs because the two models are equivalent.

In this context, we can create a context-free grammar that generates the language accepted by the npda `m = ({q0, q1} , {a, b} , {a, z} , δ, q0, z, {q1})`, where the transitions are defined as follows: `δ (q0, a, z) = {(q0,az)}` and `δ (q0, b,a) = {(q0,aa)}`.

We can use this information to construct a grammar that generates the same language as the npda.

The npda `m = ({q0, q1} , {a, b} , {a, z} , δ, q0, z, {q1})` can be defined as follows:
- The set of states is {q0, q1}
- The input alphabet is {a, b}
- The stack alphabet is {a, z}
- The transition function is defined as δ (q0, a, z) = {(q0,az)} and δ (q0, b,a) = {(q0,aa)}
- The initial state is q0
- The initial stack symbol is z
- The set of final states is {q1}

Now, let's construct the CFG that generates the same language as this npda:
- S → aSb | ε
- T → aT | ε

The start symbol is S, and the two production rules describe the two transitions that are allowed by the npda. The first rule corresponds to the transition `δ (q0, a, z) = {(q0,az)}`, where we push an a onto the stack and move to state q0. The second rule corresponds to the transition `δ (q0, b,a) = {(q0,aa)}`, where we pop an a off the stack and stay in state q0. The ε production rule in S allows us to terminate the sequence with an empty stack, indicating that we have accepted the input.

This CFG generates the same language as the npda m, and we can verify this by constructing a PDA that accepts the language generated by the CFG and showing that it is equivalent to the npda m.

a) The 17th term of the sequence is -41.

b) The 12th term of the sequence is 46.

Explanation:

a) Recursive formula for the given arithmetic sequence a = {7, 4, 1, ...} is

              a(n) = a(n-1) - 3.

The first term is 7.

Therefore, the 17th term can be found by substituting n = 17 in the recursive formula.

Hence,

a(17) = a(16) - 3

      = a(15) - 3 - 3

     = a(14) - 3 - 3 - 3

       = ...

       = a(1) - 3(16)

       = 7 - 3(16)

        = 7 - 48

         = -41

Thus, the 17th term of the sequence is -41.

b)

Recursive formula for the given arithmetic sequence a = {2, 6, 10, ...} is            

                    a(n) = a(n-1) + 4.

Therefore, the 12th term can be found by substituting n = 12 in the recursive formula.

Hence,

a(12) = a(11) + 4

         = a(10) + 4 + 4

         = a(9) + 4 + 4 + 4

          = ...

          = a(1) + 4(11)

           = 2 + 4(11)

The main objective is to conduct the White test to assess the null hypothesis that the conditional variance of the error term in the regression model is homoskedastic (constant) versus the alternative hypothesis that it is a smooth function of the regressors.

The regression model is specified as: fraction = β0 + β1total + β2size + u. The White test involves estimating auxiliary regressions to capture the relationship between the squared residuals and the regressors.

To perform the White test, we estimate the original regression model and obtain the residuals. Then, we regress the squared residuals on the regressors (total and size) and their cross-products. The null hypothesis states that the coefficients of the regressors and cross-products are all equal to zero, indicating homoskedasticity. The alternative hypothesis suggests that at least one of these coefficients is non-zero, implying heteroskedasticity.

The test statistic used in the White test follows a chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis. Its sample value is compared to the critical value at a given significance level to make a decision. If the sample value of the test statistic exceeds the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis of homoskedasticity in favor of the alternative hypothesis. On the other hand, if the sample value does not exceed the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The White test provides a statistical procedure to examine the presence of heteroskedasticity in the regression model by testing the null hypothesis of homoskedasticity against the alternative hypothesis of a smooth function of the regressors. By estimating auxiliary regressions and evaluating the test statistic's sample value against the critical value, we can make a decision regarding the presence of heteroskedasticity in the model.

The derivative of y = (c + 5)^3 with respect to z is 0.

To find the derivative of the function y = (c + 5)^3 with respect to z, we can first rewrite the function using a negative exponent:

y = (c + 5)^3

  = (c + 5)^(3/1)

Now, let's use the product rule and the general power rule to differentiate y with respect to z.

Product Rule: If u = f(z) and v = g(z), then the derivative of the product u * v with respect to z is given by:

(d/dz)(u * v) = u * (dv/dz) + v * (du/dz)

General Power Rule: If u = f(z) raised to the power n, then the derivative of u^n with respect to z is given by:

(d/dz)(u^n) = n * u^(n-1) * (du/dz)

Applying the product rule and the general power rule, we have:

dy/dz = (d/dz)[(c + 5)^(3/1)]

       = (3/1) * (c + 5)^(3/1 - 1) * (d/dz)(c + 5)

The derivative of (c + 5) with respect to z is 0 since it does not depend on z. Therefore, the derivative simplifies to:

dy/dz = 3 * (c + 5)^2 * 0

        = 0

So, the derivative of y = (c + 5)^3 with respect to z is 0.

(a) The domain of the rational function 1(x) = (x-9)/(x+7) is all real numbers except for x = -7, because dividing by zero is undefined. So the domain is (-∞, -7) U (-7, ∞).

(b) To find the horizontal asymptote, we compare the degrees of the numerator and denominator.

Since the degree of the numerator is 1 and the degree of the denominator is also 1, the horizontal asymptote is y = 1.

To find the vertical asymptote, we set the denominator equal to zero and solve for x. In this case, x + 7 = 0, which gives x = -7. So there is a vertical asymptote at x = -7.

(c) To find the x-intercept, we set the numerator equal to zero and solve for x. In this case, x - 9 = 0, which gives x = 9. So the x-intercept is (9, 0).

To find the y-intercept, we evaluate the function at x = 0. 1(0) = (0-9)/(0+7) = -9/7. So the y-intercept is (0, -9/7).

An estimated annual bond default rate of 0.107, we can calculate various probabilities and statistics related to bond defaults. Firstly, we can find the probability of bond survival by subtracting the default rate from 1. Secondly, we can determine the expected number of defaults in a bond portfolio with 25 issues by multiplying the default rate by the number of issues. Thirdly, we can estimate the standard deviation of the number of defaults by using the formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution. Lastly, we can calculate the probability of observing more than 1 default by summing the probabilities of 2 or more defaults occurring.

The probability of bond survival (non-default) can be calculated by subtracting the default rate from 1. Therefore, the probability of bond survival is 1 - 0.107 = 0.893.

To determine the expected number of defaults in a bond portfolio with 25 issues, we multiply the default rate by the number of issues. The expected number of defaults is 0.107 * 25 = 2.675 (rounded to three decimal places).

The standard deviation of the number of defaults can be estimated using the formula for the standard deviation of a binomial distribution, which is sqrt(np(1-p)). Here, n is the number of issues (25) and p is the default rate (0.107). Therefore, the estimated standard deviation of the number of defaults is sqrt(25 * 0.107 * (1 - 0.107)) = 1.589 (rounded to three decimal places).

To calculate the probability of observing more than 1 default, we need to sum the probabilities of 2 or more defaults occurring. This can be done using the binomial distribution formula or by finding the complement of the probability of observing 1 or fewer defaults. The probability of observing more than 1 default is 1 - P(X ≤ 1), where X follows a binomial distribution with n = 25 and p = 0.107. By evaluating this expression, we can find the desired probability.

In conclusion, with an estimated annual bond default rate of 0.107, we can calculate the probability of bond survival, the expected number of defaults in a bond portfolio, the standard deviation of the number of defaults, and the probability of observing more than 1 default. These calculations provide insights into the likelihood of defaults and help assess the risk associated with the bond portfolio.

The interval of definition for y₂(x) can be conjectured as the interval where the series converges.

(a) To verify that y₁(x) = x is a solution of (DE7), we substitute it into the equation:

x(y₁") - x(y₁) + y₁ = 0

Differentiating y₁(x) twice gives y₁" = 0, so the equation becomes:

x(0) - x(x) + x = 0

Simplifying further, we have:

-x² + x + x = 0

-x² + 2x = 0

This equation is satisfied by y₁(x) = x, confirming that it is a solution.

(b) To find a second solution, we can use the method of reduction of order. We assume that y₂(x) = v(x)y₁(x), where v(x) is an unknown function. Substituting this into the equation, we have:

x(y₂") - x(y₂) + y₂ = 0

Substituting y₂(x) = v(x)x, and differentiating twice, we obtain:

x[v''(x)x + 2v'(x)] - x[v(x)x] + v(x)x = 0

Simplifying, we have:

x²v''(x) + 2xv'(x) - x³v(x) + x²v(x) = 0

Dividing through by x², we get:

v''(x) + (2/x)v'(x) - (1 - 1/x²)v(x) = 0

This equation can be solved by assuming a power series solution for v(x). By solving for the coefficients of the series, we can obtain a second solution y₂(x) in the form of an infinite series. The interval of definition for y₂(x) can be conjectured as the interval where the series converges.

The 1st quartile (Q1) is the median of the lower half of the data and thus, it is the median of the data below 39.5. The data below 39.5 is:17, 20, 23, 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, 35, and 36.The median of the above data can be found as follows:

Q1 = median of the data below 39.5 = (n + 1)/2th observation = (10 + 1)/2th observation = 5.5th observation The 5.5th observation is between the 5th and 6th observation, which are 29 and 30, respectively.

Thus, the Q1 is (29 + 30)/2 = 29.5. The third quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the data and thus, it is the median of the data above 39.5. The data above 39.5 is:40, 40, 44, 45, 50, 54, 57, 60, and 70.The median of the above data can be found as follows:Q3 = median of the data above 39.5 = (n + 1)/2th observation = (10 + 1)/2th observation = 5.5th observation The 5.5th observation is between the 5th and 6th observation, which are 50 and 54, respectively. Thus, the Q3 is (50 + 54)/2 = 52.

The function f(x) = (2x - 4) / (x + 7) has a critical number at x = 0. It is increasing on the interval (-∞, 0) and decreasing on the interval (0, ∞). It has a local maximum at x = 0. The function is concave up on the interval (-∞, ∞) and does not have any inflection points. It has a horizontal asymptote at y = 2 and a vertical asymptote at x = -7. The function f is even, so its graph is symmetric about the y-axis.

To find the critical numbers of f, we set the derivative of f(x) equal to zero:

f'(x) = (2(x + 7) - (2x - 4)) / (x + 7)^2 = 0.

Simplifying, we get 4 / (x + 7)^2 = 0, which has no real solutions. Therefore, the critical number is x = 0.

To determine where f is increasing or decreasing, we check the sign of the derivative on the intervals (-∞, 0) and (0, ∞). Taking a test point within each interval, we find that f'(x) is positive on (-∞, 0) and negative on (0, ∞). Thus, f is increasing on (-∞, 0) and decreasing on (0, ∞).

Since there is only one critical number, x = 0, it is also the location of the local maximum.

To find where f is concave up or concave down, we take the second derivative of f(x):

f''(x) = [4(x + 7)^2 - 4] / (x + 7)^4.

The second derivative is always positive for all x, indicating that f is concave up on the interval (-∞, ∞) and does not have any inflection points.

The horizontal asymptote is determined by the limits as x approaches infinity and negative infinity. Taking the limit as x approaches infinity, we find that f(x) approaches 2. Therefore, y = 2 is the horizontal asymptote. As for the vertical asymptote, it occurs when the denominator of f(x) equals zero, which is at x = -7.

Finally, since f(-x) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f, the function f is even, resulting in symmetry about the y-axis.

To sketch the graph of f, we plot the y-intercept and x-intercepts (if any) by setting f(x) equal to zero. We draw dashed lines for the horizontal asymptote y = 2 and the vertical asymptote x = -7. We mark the point of the local maximum at x = 0. Since there are no inflection points, we do not plot any. Using the information about increasing, decreasing, concave up, and concave down, we sketch the remaining parts of the graph. Taking advantage of the symmetry about the y-axis, we complete the graph.

M₁ = [1 2, 0 -1] and M₂ = [4 1, 0 -3] in M2.5 are linearly independent.

Two matrices are said to be linearly independent if neither of them can be expressed as a scalar multiple of the other matrix. In this case, the matrices M₁ = [1 2, 0 -1] and M₂ = [4 1, 0 -3] in M2.5 are not equal as each matrix has different values. Further, the matrices are not scalar multiples of each other either. For instance, if we multiply M₁ by 1.5, we will not obtain M₂. Therefore, we can say that the matrices M₁ and M₂ are linearly independent.

To find the probability that a randomly selected healthy person has a temperature above 99.2 degrees F, we need to calculate the area under the normal distribution curve to the right of 99.2. We can use the z-score formula and standard normal distribution table to determine this probability. To determine the minimum temperature for requiring further medical tests such that only 0.5% of healthy people exceed it, we need to find the z-score corresponding to the desired cumulative probability of 0.5%. Using the standard normal distribution table, we can find the z-score and then convert it back to the original temperature scale using the mean and standard deviation of the healthy population.

To calculate the probability, we first calculate the z-score for 99.2 using the formula z = (x - μ) / σ, where x is the temperature value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. Plugging in the values, we get z = (99.2 - 98.20) / 0.62, which simplifies to z ≈ 1.61. We then find the corresponding probability by looking up the area to the right of 1.61 in the standard normal distribution table. To find the minimum temperature, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.5% (0.005). By looking up this cumulative probability in the standard normal distribution table, we find a z-score of approximately -2.58. We can then convert this z-score back to the original temperature scale using the formula x = μ + z * σ, where x is the temperature value, μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and z is the z-score. Plugging in the values, we can find the minimum temperature.

Ratio ≈ 1,800

To determine how many times greater the mass of a proton is compared to the mass of an electron, we can calculate the ratio of their masses.

Mass of a proton = 1.6 x 10^(-27) kg

Mass of an electron = 9.1 x 10^(-31) kg

To find the ratio, we divide the mass of a proton by the mass of an electron:

Ratio = (Mass of a proton) / (Mass of an electron)

= (1.6 x 10^(-27) kg) / (9.1 x 10^(-31) kg)

To simplify the calculation, we can rewrite the masses using scientific notation:

Ratio = (1.6 / 9.1) x (10^(-27) / 10^(-31))

= 0.1758 x 10^(4)

Since 0.1758 is approximately 0.18, we have:

Ratio ≈ 0.18 x 10^(4)

We can further simplify this by converting the scientific notation back to regular decimal notation:

Ratio ≈ 0.18 x 10^(4)

= 0.18 x 10,000

Simplifying the multiplication, we get:

Ratio ≈ 1,800

Therefore, the mass of a proton is approximately 1,800 times greater than the mass of an electron. So the answer is not one of the options provided.

The value of p(v > 4) is -6.

Given a continuous random variable v and its cumulative distribution function(CDF) fv(v):fv(v)=0, v < −5c(v + 5)2−5, -5 ≤ v < 71, v ≥7

(a) Calculation of c value:

Let's write the definite integral of CDF of v from -∞ to +∞. Therefore ,fv(v)=∫ fv(v) dv = 1

This can be separated into three definite integrals depending on the definition of fv(v):∫(-∞,-5) 0dv + ∫[-5,7]c(v+5)²-5dv + ∫(7,+∞) 1dv = 1

Simplifying it further:0 + ∫[-5,7]c(v+5)²-5dv + 1 = 1∫[-5,7]c(v+5)²-5dv = 0

We can calculate the integral of the function that is present in between the limits [-5, 7].∫[-5,7]c(v+5)²-5dv = c[ (v+5)³ / 3 ]∣[-5,7]

= c * [(7+5)³/3 - (-5+5)³/3]

= c * 108c

= 1/108

So, the value of c is 1/108.

(b) Calculation of p[v > 4]:Using the CDF and the known value of c, we can calculate the value of p(v > 4).p(v > 4) = 1 - p(v ≤ 4)

We can calculate the value of p(v ≤ 4) by using the CDF:fV(v)=∫ fv(v) dvWe have CDF in three parts.

So, we have to calculate the CDF of each part separately.

CDF of v for v < -5:fV(v)=∫ fv(v) dv= ∫ 0dv= 0∵ v< -5CDF of v for -5 ≤ v < 7:fV(v)=∫ fv(v) dv

= ∫c(v+5)²-5dv= (c/3) * (v+5)³ ∣[-5,7]= (1/108 * 216) / 3= 2CDF of v for v ≥7:fV(v)

=∫ fv(v) dv

= ∫ 1dv= v ∣ [7,+∞)∵ v≥7

Now, calculating the probability of v ≤ 4:fV(v) = 0, for v < −5

= (1/108 * 216) / 3, for -5 ≤ v < 7

= 6, for v ≥7p(v ≤ 4) = fV(4)= fV(7) - fV(-5)= 7 - 0= 7

We can now calculate p(v > 4):p(v > 4) = 1 - p(v ≤ 4)= 1 - 7= -6

Therefore, the value of p(v > 4) is -6.

A sample size of 1037 is needed to estimate the mean white blood cell count.

To estimate the mean white blood cell count for the population of adults in the United States with 99% confidence that the sample mean is within 0.2 of the population mean, we can use the formula for the margin of error for a mean: E = z * (σ / sqrt(n)), where E is the margin of error, z is the z-score for the desired level of confidence, σ is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size. Solving this equation for n, we get n = (z * σ / E)². Substituting the given values into this equation, we get n = (2.576 * 2.5 / 0.2)² ≈ 1037.

the probability of drawing a spade or a red card from a standard deck of cards is 3/4. The answer is option b.

To find the probability of drawing a spade or a red card from a standard deck of cards, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (spades and red cards) and the total number of possible outcomes (all cards in the deck).

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards in total, with 13 cards in each of the four suits (spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). Among these, there are 26 red cards (hearts and diamonds) and 13 spades.

To find the probability, we add the number of favorable outcomes (spades and red cards) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes (52):

P(spade or red card) = (13 + 26) / 52

                     = 39 / 52

Euler's method is a numerical approximation technique used to solve ordinary differential equations. It approximates the solution by iteratively calculating the next value based on the current value and the derivative at that point. Runge-Kutta 4 order method is another numerical method that provides a more accurate approximation by using multiple evaluations of the derivative at different .

(a) Using Euler's method with a step size of 3 seconds, find the distance traveled in meters by the body from t=0 to t=9 seconds.

To use Euler's method, we will approximate the integral of the speed function v(t) to calculate the distance traveled. The formula for Euler's method is:

y_(n+1) = y_n + h * f(t_n, y_n)

Where y_n represents the approximate value at time t_n, h is the step size, and f(t_n, y_n) is the derivative of y with respect to t at time t_n.

In this case, we want to calculate the distance traveled, which is the integral of the speed function v(t). So we will use the derivative of the distance function, which is the speed function itself.

Using Euler's method with a step size of 3 seconds, we can calculate the distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=9 seconds as follows:

t=0: y_0 = 0 (initial distance)

t=3: y_1 = y_0 + 3 * v(0) = 0 + 3 * v(0) = 0 + 3 * 200 * ln(1+0) - 120 = 3 * (-120) = -360

t=6: y_2 = y_1 + 3 * v(3) = -360 + 3 * v(3) = -360 + 3 * 200 * ln(1+3) - 120 = -360 + 3 * 200 * ln(4) - 120

t=9: y_3 = y_2 + 3 * v(6) = -360 + 3 * v(6) = -360 + 3 * 200 * ln(1+6) - 120 = -360 + 3 * 200 * ln(7) - 120

The distance traveled by the body from t=0 to t=9 seconds is given by y_3.

(b) Solve the v(t) function by using Runge-Kutta 4 order method using a step size of 4.5 seconds.

Runge-Kutta 4 order method is a numerical method for solving ordinary differential equations. To solve the v(t) function using this method with a step size of 4.5 seconds, we will iteratively calculate the values of v(t) at different time intervals.

Let's denote the initial condition as v_0 = v(0). Then, using the Runge-Kutta 4 order method:

t=0: v_1 = v_0 + (4.5/6) * (k₁ + 2k₂ + 2k₃ + k₄)

t=4.5: v_2 = v_1 + (4.5/6) * (k₁ + 2k₂ + 2k₃ + k₄)

t=9: v_3 = v_2 + (4.5/6) * (k₁ + 2k₂ + 2k₃ + k₄)

where k₁, k₂, k₃, and k₄ are defined as:

k₁ = f(t, v) = v(t)

k₂ = f(t + 2.25, v + 2.25k₁) = v(t + 2.25)

k₃ = f(t + 2.25, v + 2.25k₂) = v(t + 4.5)

k₄ = f(t + 4.5,

v + 4.5k₃) = v(t + 4.5)

(c) The exact solution of the given equation is 200[(t+1)ln(t+1)-1)-(1²/2)]

To calculate the speed in the nonlinear equation at t=9 seconds, substitute t=9 into the equation:

v(t) = 200[(t+1)ln(t+1)-1)-(1²/2)]

v(9) = 200[(9+1)ln(9+1)-1)-(1²/2)]

      = 200[10ln(10)-1-(1/2)]

      = 200[10ln(10)-3/2]

To find the error in parts (a) and (b), calculate the absolute difference between the approximate values obtained using Euler's method and Runge-Kutta 4 order method, and the exact solution given by the nonlinear equation at t=9 seconds.

To improve the accuracy of the numerical methods and reduce the error, we can use smaller step sizes. Decreasing the step size will provide more accurate approximations at the cost of increased computation time. Additionally, using higher-order numerical methods such as the 4th order Runge-Kutta method can also improve accuracy.

To find the derivative of the function y = √(x) / x, we can break it down into three steps:

1. Rewrite: y = x^(-1/2) * x^(-1/2)

2. Differentiate: y' = (-1/2)x^(-3/2) + (-1/2)x^(-3/2)

3. Simplify: y' = -x^(-3/2)

To find the derivative of the function y = √(x) / x, we can break it down into three steps: rewriting the function, differentiating the rewritten function, and simplifying the result.

Rewrite the function

In this step, we can rewrite the function using exponent rules. We can express √(x) as x^(1/2) and rewrite the function as y = x^(-1/2) * x^(-1/2).

Differentiate the rewritten function

To differentiate the function, we need to apply the power rule of differentiation. The power rule states that when we have a function of the form f(x) = x^n, the derivative is given by f'(x) = nx^(n-1). Applying the power rule to our function, we differentiate each term separately. The derivative of x^(-1/2) is (-1/2)x^(-3/2), and the derivative of x^(-1/2) is also (-1/2)x^(-3/2).

Simplify the result

In this step, we combine the two terms obtained in the previous step. Both terms have the same derivative, so we can add them together. This gives us y' = (-1/2)x^(-3/2) + (-1/2)x^(-3/2), which simplifies to y' = -x^(-3/2).
