Question

Mathematics Question on Continuity and differentiability

Differentiate the following w.r.t. xx:
log(logx),x>1log(log\,x),x>1

Answer

The correct answer is =1xlogx,x>1=\frac{1}{xlog\,x},x>1
Let y=log(logx)y=log(log\,x)
By using the chain rule,we obtain
dydx=ddx[log(logx)]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[log(log\,x)]
=1logx.ddx(logx)=\frac{1}{log\,x}.\frac{d}{dx}(log\,x)
=1logx.1x=\frac{1}{log\,x}.\frac{1}{x}
=1xlogx,x>1=\frac{1}{xlog\,x},x>1
