Question Details

Differentiate log⁡(log⁡x⁵) w.r.t x.

Options

A

–(5/xlogx⁵)

B

1/logx⁵

C

5/xlogx⁵

D

–(1/xlogx⁵)

Correct Answer :

5/xlogx⁵

Solution :

The correct option is 5/xlogx⁵.

To differentiate the given function with respect to x, we can apply the chain rule of differentiation.
Let y=loglogx5.

Recall the standard derivative rule:
ddulogu=1u

Applying the chain rule, we differentiate the outer logarithm function first, treating the inner term logx5 as our variable:
dydx=1logx5·ddxlogx5

Next, we differentiate the inner function logx5 using the chain rule again:
ddxlogx5=1x5·ddxx5

Using the power rule, the derivative of x5 is 5x4:
ddxlogx5=1x5·5x4=5x

Substituting this back into our expression for dydx:
dydx=1logx5·5x=5xlogx5
