Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln \left(\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right)\right)=\left(\ln{\left(\frac{x}{x^{2} + 1} \right)}\right)^{\prime }=\frac{-x^2+1}{x\left(x^2+1\right)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the derivative of the function $y(x)=\ln \left(\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right)$ you must:

Step 1. Rewrite the logarithm:

$\left(\ln{\left(\frac{x}{x^{2} + 1} \right)}\right)^{\prime }=\left(\ln{\left(x \right)} - \ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }$

Step 2. The derivative of a sum is the sum of derivatives:

$\left(\ln{\left(x \right)} - \ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }}={\left(\left(\ln{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime } - \left(\ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }\right)$

Step 3. The derivative of natural logarithm is $\left(\ln{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime }=\frac{1}{x}$

${\left(\ln{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime }} - \left(\ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }={\frac{1}{x}} - \left(\ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }$

Step 4. The function $\ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}$ is the composition $f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)$ of two functions $f\left(u\right)=\ln{\left(u \right)}$ and $u=g\left(x\right)=x^{2} + 1$

Step 5. Apply the chain rule $\left(f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\right)^{\prime }=\frac{d}{du}\left(f\left(u\right)\right) \cdot \left(g\left(x\right)\right)^{\prime }$

$-{\left(\ln{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}\right)^{\prime }} + \frac{1}{x}=- {\frac{d}{du}\left(\ln{\left(u \right)}\right) \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right)} + \frac{1}{x}\\\\- {\frac{d}{du}\left(\ln{\left(u \right)}\right)} \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right) + \frac{1}{x}=- {\frac{1}{u}} \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right) + \frac{1}{x}$

Return to the old variable:

$- \frac{1}{{u}} \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right) + \frac{1}{x}=- \frac{\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right)}{{\left(x^{2} + 1\right)}} + \frac{1}{x}$

The derivative of a sum is the sum of derivatives:

$- \frac{{\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2} + 1\right)}}{x^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{x}=- \frac{{\left(\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2}\right)\right)}}{x^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(x^{2} - x \left(\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2}\right)\right) + 1\right)$

Step 6. Apply the power rule $\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{n}\right)=n\cdot x^{-1+n}$

$\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(x^{2} - x \left({\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{2}\right)} + \frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)\right) + 1\right)=\\\\\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(x^{2} - x \left({\left(2 x^{-1 + 2}\right)} + \frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)\right) + 1\right)=\\\\\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(- x^{2} - x \frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right) + 1\right)\\$

$\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(- x^{2} - x {\frac{d}{dx}\left(1\right)} + 1\right)=\\\\\frac{1}{x^{3} + x} \left(- x^{2} - x {\left(0\right)} + 1\right)=\\\\\frac{1 - x^{2}}{x \left(x^{2} + 1\right)}$

Thus, $\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln \left(\frac{x}{x^2+1}\right)\right)=\left(\ln{\left(\frac{x}{x^{2} + 1} \right)}\right)^{\prime }=\frac{-x^2+1}{x\left(x^2+1\right)}$

Suppose you roll a die. Find the probability of the given event. Simplify your answer. P(a number less than 7)

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 faces on a die, and you can only roll one face only. So, the denominator will be 6 because there are 6 faces, and 1 as the numerator because that's the equal proportion for each face (unless you use two dice)

The repayment schedule is for a $1,300 loan at 7.5% for 6 months. What is the amount for interest at payment 5?

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: The answer is $2.77.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that we have to pay the loan of $1300 at interest rate of 7.5% in 6 months. According to the table,

Amount for interest in payment 1 = $8.13,

Amount of interest in payment 2 = $6.79

and

Amount of interest in payment 3 = $5.45.

We can see here that the difference in the amounts to be paid in consecutive months will be same, i.e., the payments will form an arithmetic progression (A.P.).

The common difference = 8.13-6.79=6.79-5.45=1.34.

Therefore, amount of interest in payment 4 = $(5.45-1.34) = $4.11

and amount of interest in payment 5 = $(4.11-1.34) = $2.77.

Please see the attached modified table.

Thus, the answer is $2.77.
