Answer

\(\boxed{\frac{d y}{d x} = -\frac{13 \ln x}{x^{14}} + \frac{1}{x^{14}}}\) is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the function \(y = \frac{\ln x}{x^{13}}\).

Step 2 :We need to find the derivative of this function.

Step 3 :We use the quotient rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of a quotient of two functions is the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all over the square of the denominator.

Step 4 :In this case, our numerator is \(\ln(x)\) and our denominator is \(x^{13}\).

Step 5 :Applying the quotient rule, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x} = -\frac{13 \ln x}{x^{14}} + \frac{1}{x^{14}}\).

Step 6 :\(\boxed{\frac{d y}{d x} = -\frac{13 \ln x}{x^{14}} + \frac{1}{x^{14}}}\) is the final answer.
