Question

If y = x log x, then `(d^2y)/dx^2`= _____.

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

If y = x log x, then `(d^2y)/dx^2`= `bb(underline(1/x))`

Explanation:

y = x log x

Differentiating both sides,

`dy/dx = x * d/dx(logx) + logx * d/dx(x)`

= `x * 1/x + logx` = 1 + logx

Again differentiating w.r.t.x,

`d/dx(dy/dx) = d/dx(1) + d/dx(logx)`

`(d^2y)/(dx^2) = 0 + 1/x = 1/x`
