Answer:

dy/dx = -1/ $x^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/x

dy/dx = d/dx(1/x)

=> dy/dx = d/dx( $x^{-1}$ )

=> dy/dx = - $x^{-2}$

=> dy/dx = -1/ $x^{2}$

Answer:

multiplying a multi-digit number by itself several times (finding the power of a number)
finding a square root
statistical calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what your introduction tells you, but the above-listed operations are ones I choose to use a calculator for. I also use a calculator for ordinary arithmetic, such as division by numbers with 2 digits or more. (It is simply faster and requires no scratch paper.)

If statistical calculations are not done with a calculator, they at least require the availability of suitable tables.

___

All of these operations can be done by hand without a calculator, and were in times passed. Lifetimes of effort were involved in generating some of the original math tables for statistics, trig, logarithms, and other functions readily evaluated using a modern calculator.

The answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

If the line is parallel to the y-axis it has no slope, so you would only write down the x-intercept.
