Differentiation Question 77

Question: If $ y={\log _{10}}x^{2} $ , then $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ is equal to

Options:

A) $ \frac{2}{x} $

B) $ \frac{2}{x{\log _{e}}10} $

C) $ \frac{1}{x{\log _{e}}10} $

D) $ \frac{1}{10x} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Given $ y={\log _{10}}x^{2} $

$ y=\frac{{\log _{e}}x^{2}}{{\log _{e}}10} $ , $ ( \because {\log _{a}}b=\frac{{\log _{e}}b}{{\log _{e}}a} ) $

$ y=\frac{2{\log _{e}}x}{{\log _{e}}10} $ ,
$ \therefore \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2}{x{\log _{e}}10} $ .
