Continuity and Differentiability

Question:

If $y=\{f(x)\}^{\phi(x)}$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is

Options:

$e^{\phi \log f}\left\{\frac{\phi}{f} \frac{d f}{d x}+\log f . \frac{d \phi}{d x}\right\}$

$\frac{\phi}{f}\left(\frac{d f}{d x}\right)+\frac{d \phi}{d x} \log f$

$e^{\phi \log f}\left\{\phi \frac{f'}{f}+\phi' \log f'\right\}$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$e^{\phi \log f}\left\{\frac{\phi}{f} \frac{d f}{d x}+\log f . \frac{d \phi}{d x}\right\}$

Explanation:

We have,

$y=\{f(x)\}^{\phi(x)}=e^{\phi(x) \log f(x)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=e^{\phi(x) \log f(x)}\left\{\phi'(x) \log f(x)+\frac{\phi(x)}{f(x)} f'(x)\right\}$
