If `y=x^((logx)^log(logx))` then `(dy)/(dx)=`A. `(y)/(x)((In x^(x-1))"+2 In x In(In x))"`B. `(y)/(x)(log x)^(log (log x))(2 log (log x )+1)`C. `(y)/(" x In x")[(In x )^(2)+2In (In x)]`D. `(y)/(x)(log y)/(log x)[2 log (log x)+1]`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`y=x^((log x )^(log (log x)))`
`therefore" "log y = (log x) (log x)^(log (log x))" (1)"`
Taking log of both sides, we get
log (log y ) = log (log x) + log (log x) log (log x)
Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
`(1)/(log y).(1)/(y)(dy)/(dx)=(1)/(x log x )+(2 log (log x))/(log x )(1)/(x)`
`=(2log (log x)+1)/(x log x)`
`"or "(dy)/(dx)=(y)/(x).(log y)/(log x)(2 log (log x )+1)`
Substituting the value of log y from (1), we get
`(dy)/(dx)=(y)/(x)(log x)^(log(logx))(2 log (log x)+1)`

log(1+ sin2x)

Answer»

\(\frac{d}{dx}\)log(1+sin2x)

\(=\frac{1}{1+sin^2x}\frac{d}{dx}\)(1+sin2x) (By chain rule and  \(\frac{d}{dx}\)log x \(=\frac{1}{x}\))

\(=\frac{1}{1+sin^2x}\)(2 sin x cos x) (∵ \(\frac{d}{dx}\) 1 = 0 and \(\frac{d}{dx}\) sin2 x = 2 sin x cos x)

\(=\frac{sin^2x}{1+sin^2x}\) (∵ 2 sin x cos x = sin2 x)

Hence, \(\frac{d}{dx}\)log(1+sin2 x) \(=\frac{sin^2x}{1+sin^2x}\)

`(d^2x)/(d y^2)` equalsA. `((d^(2)x)/(dy^(2)))^(-1)`B. `((d^(2)x)/(dy^(2)))((dy)/(dx))^(-3)`C. `((d^(2)x)/(dy^(2)))((dy)/(dx))^(-2)`D. `-((d^(2)x)/(dy^(2)))((dy)/(dx))^(-3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
We have,
`(dx)/(dy)=((dy)/(dx))^(-1)`
`implies" "(d)/(dy)((dx)/(dy))=(d)/(dy){((dy)/(dx))^(-1)}`
`implies" "(d^(2)x)/(dy^(2))=(d)/(dx){((dy)/(dx))^(-1)}(dx)/(dy)`
`implies" "(d^(2)x)/(dy^(2))=-((dy)/(dx))^(-2)(d)/(dx)((dy)/(dx)).(dx)/(dy)`
`implies" "(d^(2)x)/(dy^(2))=-((dy)/(dx))^(-3)((d^(2)y)/(dx^(2)))`
205.

If `y` is a function of `x and log(x+y)-2xy=0` then the value of `y (0)` is equal to (a) `1` (b) `-1` (c) `2` (d) `0`A. 1B. -1C. 2D. 0

Answer» Correct Answer - A
When x=0, we have
`log(0+y)-2xx0xxy=0implieslogy=0impliesy=1`
Now, `log(x+y)-2xy=0`
Differentiating with respect to x, we get
`(1)/(x+y)(1+(dy)/(dx))-2y-2x(dy)/(dx)=0`
Putting x=0 and y=1, we get
`(1+(dy)/(dx))-2-2xx0=0implies(dy)/(dx)=1`
206.

Let g(x) be the inverse of an invertible function f(x) which is derivable at x = 3. If f(3) = 9 and f’(3) = 9, write the value of g’(9).

Answer»

From the definition of invertible function,

g(f(x)) = x …(i)

So, g(f(3)) = 3, i.e., g(9) = 3

Now, differentiating both sides of equation (i) w.r.t. x using the Chain Rule of Differentiation, we get –

g’(f(x)). f’(x) = 1 …(ii)

Plugging in x = 3 in equation (ii) gives us –

g’(f(3)).f’(3) = 1

or, g’(9).9 = 1

i.e., g’(9) = 1/9 

207.

If y = sin-1(sin x), -\(\cfrac{\pi}2\) ≤ x ≤ \(\cfrac{\pi}2\). Then write the value of \(\cfrac{dy}{d\mathrm x}\) for x ∈ (-\(\cfrac{\pi}2\), \(\cfrac{\pi}2\)).

Answer»

For x ∈ \((-\cfrac{\pi}2,\cfrac{\pi}2),\)

y = sin-1(sin x)

= x

So, \(\cfrac{dy}{d\mathrm x}\) = 1

Differentiate with respect to x:tan 3x

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = tan 3x

If t = 3x then tan 3x = tan t or y = tan t

dy/dt = sec2 t

dt/dx = 3

Now,

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = 3 sec2 t

Substituting the value of t back, we get

dy/dx = 3sec2 3x

211.

Differentiate with respect to x:sin 4x

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = sin 4x

If 4x = t then sin4x = sin t or y = sin t

dy/dt = cos t

dt/dx = 4

Now,

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = 4 cos t

Substituting the value of t back, we get

dy/dx = 4 cos 4x

212.

Differentiate with respect to x:cos 5x

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = cos 5x

If t = 5x then cos 5x = cos t or y = cos t

dy/dt = -sin t

dt/dx = 5

Now,

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = -5 sin t

Substituting the value of t back, we get

dy/dx = -5 sin 5x

213.

`tan^(-1)(cos sqrtx)`

Answer» `(-sinsqrtx)/((2sqrtx)(1+cos^(2)sqrtx))`
214.

Differentiate with respect to x:cot2 x

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = cot2 x

dy/dx = – 2cot x [d/dx (cot x)]

= – 2 cot x cosec2x

215.

Differentiate with respect to x.cos x3

Answer»

Chain rule:

If y = f(t) and t = g(x) then dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx

Let y = cos x3

If t = x3 then cos x3= cos t or y = cos t

dy/dt = -sin t

dt/dx = 3x2

Now,

dy/dx = dy/dt x dt/dx = 3 x2 (-sin t)

Substituting the value of t back, we get

dy/dx = 3 x2 (-sin x3)

= -3 x2 sin x3

216.
