Question:

The second derivative of $y=x\, log x $ is :

Options:

$1+log\, x $

$log \, x$

$x$

$\frac{1}{x}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{x}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{1}{x}$

$y=x\, log x $

$⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=x×\frac{1}{x}+\log x=1+\log x$

$⇒\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=0+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{x}$
