Answer:  \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : y=\ln(x(x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{2}})

\Rightarrow\ y=\ln x+\ln (x^2-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}    [\because \ln(ab)=\ln a +\ln b]

\Rightarrow y=\ln x+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (x^2-1)}  [\because \ln(a)^n=n\ln a]

Now , Differentiate both sides  with respect to x , we will get

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1) (By Chain rule)

[Note : \dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\dfrac{1}{x}]

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x-0)

[ \because \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}]

=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x) = \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{x}{x^2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2-1)+(x^2)}{x(x^2-1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Hence, the derivative of the given function is \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)} .

In a sample of 57 temperature readings taken from the freezer of a restaurant, the mean is 29.6 degrees and the population stand
Natalka [10]

Answer:

(29.14 ; 30.06)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that'

Sample size (n) = 57

Mean (m) = 29.6

Population standard deviation (σ) = 2.7

Confidence interval = 80%

= (1 - 0.8) / 2 = 0.1

Mean ± z * σ/√n

Using the Z probability calculator : Z0. 1 = 1.28

Hence,

29.6 ± 1.28 * (2.7 / √57)

29.6 - (1.28 * 0.3576237) ; 29.6 + (1.28 * 0.3576237)

29.142241664 ; 30.057758336

(29.14 ; 30.06)

Round 59.378 to the nearest hundredth.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

59.38

Step-by-step explanation:

In the number 59.378, "7" is in the hundredth place. So, we need to round it according to the 7. Anything to the left of 7 doesn't need to be rounded. If we round the thousandths place, 8, up to 7, we get 59.38
