Q. Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y y with respect to the independent variable. \qquad \newliney=xlnx y=x^{\ln x} \newlineA) xlnx1lnx x^{\ln x-1} \ln x \newlineB) 2xlnx1lnx 2 x^{\ln x-1} \ln x \newlineC) 2lnxx \frac{2 \ln x}{x} \newlineD) (lnx)2 (\ln x)^{2}
  1. Apply logarithmic differentiation: Step 11: Apply logarithmic differentiation.\newlineTake the natural logarithm of both sides:\newlineln(y)=ln(xlnx)\ln(y) = \ln(x^{\ln x})\newlineUsing the power rule for logarithms, simplify:\newlineln(y)=(lnx)(lnx)=(lnx)2\ln(y) = (\ln x)(\ln x) = (\ln x)^2
  2. Differentiate with respect to xx: Step 22: Differentiate both sides with respect to xx. Using the chain rule on the left side: ddx[ln(y)]=1ydydx\frac{d}{dx}[\ln(y)] = \frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} Differentiate the right side using the product rule: ddx[(lnx)2]=2(lnx)ddx[lnx]\frac{d}{dx}[(\ln x)^2] = 2(\ln x) \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[\ln x] Since ddx[lnx]=1x\frac{d}{dx}[\ln x] = \frac{1}{x}, This becomes 2(lnx)x\frac{2(\ln x)}{x}
  3. Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}: Step 33: Solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.\newlineFrom the differentiation:\newline1ydydx=2(lnx)x\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(\ln x)}{x}\newlineMultiply both sides by yy to solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx}:\newlinedydx=y(2(lnx)x)\frac{dy}{dx} = y \cdot \left(\frac{2(\ln x)}{x}\right)\newlineSubstitute back for y=x(lnx)y = x^{(\ln x)}:\newlinedydx=x(lnx)(2(lnx)x)\frac{dy}{dx} = x^{(\ln x)} \cdot \left(\frac{2(\ln x)}{x}\right)\newlineSimplify:\newlinedydx=2x(lnx1)(lnx)\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x^{(\ln x - 1)}(\ln x)
