If $y =log_2(log_2x),$ then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is equal to : |
$\frac{log_2e}{log_ex}$ $\frac{log_2e}{xlog_e2}$ $\frac{log_2e}{xlog_ex}$ $\frac{log_ex}{xlog_2e}$ |
$\frac{log_2e}{xlog_ex}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{log_2e}{xlog_ex}$ ## $y = \log_2(\log_2 x)$ Step 1: Convert using change of base $y = \frac{\ln(\log_2 x)}{\ln 2}$ Step 2: Differentiate $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\ln 2} \cdot \frac{1}{\log_2 x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\log_2 x)$ Step 3: Differentiate inner term $\frac{d}{dx}(\log_2 x) = \frac{1}{x \ln 2}$ Step 4: Substitute $\begin{aligned} \frac{dy}{dx} &= \frac{1}{\ln 2} \cdot \frac{1}{\log_2 x} \cdot \frac{1}{x \ln 2} \\ &= \frac{1}{x (\ln 2)^2 \log_2 x} \end{aligned}$ Step 5: Simplify Using the identities $\frac{1}{\ln 2} = \log_2 e$ and $(\log_2 x)(\ln 2) = \ln x$: $\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\log_2 e}{x \ln x}$ |
