1. **Problem Statement:** Find the derivative of the function $$y = (x^2 + 1) \cdot \frac{1}{x}$$. 2. **Formula Used:** Use the product rule for derivatives: $$\frac{d}{dx}[u \cdot v] = u'v + uv'$$. 3. **Step-by-step Solution:** - Let $$u = x^2 + 1$$ and $$v = \frac{1}{x} = x^{-1}$$. - Compute derivatives: $$u' = 2x$$ and $$v' = -x^{-2}$$. - Apply product rule: $$y' = u'v + uv' = 2x \cdot x^{-1} + (x^2 + 1)(-x^{-2})$$. - Simplify terms: $$2x \cdot x^{-1} = 2$$, $$(x^2 + 1)(-x^{-2}) = -\frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2} = -1 -
