Q. Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y with respect to the independent variable. y=xlnxA) xlnx−1lnxB) 2xlnx−1lnxC) x2lnxD) (lnx)2
Apply logarithmic differentiation: Step 1: Apply logarithmic differentiation.Take the natural logarithm of both sides:ln(y)=ln(xlnx)Using the power rule for logarithms, simplify:ln(y)=(lnx)(lnx)=(lnx)2
Differentiate with respect to x: Step 2: Differentiate both sides with respect to x. Using the chain rule on the left side: dxd[ln(y)]=y1⋅dxdy Differentiate the right side using the product rule: dxd[(lnx)2]=2(lnx)⋅dxd[lnx] Since dxd[lnx]=x1, This becomes x2(lnx)
Solve for dxdy: Step 3: Solve for dxdy.From the differentiation:y1⋅dxdy=x2(lnx)Multiply both sides by y to solve for dxdy:dxdy=y⋅(x2(lnx))Substitute back for y=x(lnx):dxdy=x(lnx)⋅(x2(lnx))Simplify:dxdy=2x(lnx−1)(lnx)
