Differentiation Question 438

Question: If $ y=\log x^{x}, $ then $ \frac{dy}{dx}= $

[MNR 1978]

Options:

A) $ x^{x}(1+\log x) $

B) $ \log (ex) $

C) $ \log ( \frac{e}{x} ) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ y=\log x^{x}=x\log x $

Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get $ \frac{dy}{dx}=(1+\log x)=\log e+\log x=\log (ex) $

$ (\because \log e=1) $ .
