Answer

$$ - 29$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & y = \left( {\frac{{3x + 2}}{x}} \right)\left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right) \cr & {\text{distribute }} \cr & y = \left( {\frac{{3x}}{x} + \frac{2}{x}} \right)\left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right) \cr & y = \left( {3 + 2{x^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right) \cr & {\text{product rule }} \cr & \left( {uv} \right)' = uv' + vu' \cr & = \left( {3 + 2{x^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right)' + \left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right)\left( {3 + 2{x^{ - 1}}} \right)' \cr & = \left( {3 + 2{x^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( { - 5{x^{ - 6}}} \right) + \left( {{x^{ - 5}} + 1} \right)\left( { - 2{x^{ - 2}}} \right) \cr & {\text{evaluate }}{\left. {dy/dx} \right|_{x = 1}} \cr & = \left( {3 + 2{{\left( 1 \right)}^{ - 1}}} \right)\left( { - 5{{\left( 1 \right)}^{ - 6}}} \right) + \left( {{{\left( 1 \right)}^{ - 5}} + 1} \right)\left( { - 2{{\left( 1 \right)}^{ - 2}}} \right) \cr & {\text{simplify}} \cr & = \left( {3 + 2} \right)\left( { - 5} \right) + \left( {1 + 1} \right)\left( { - 2} \right) \cr & = - 29 \cr} $$
