Question:

Differential coefficient of $log_{10}x$ with respect to $log_{x}10$ is :

Options:

$-(x\, log_{10}x)^2$

$-\frac{(log_{10}x)^2}{x^2}$

$-\frac{1}{(log_{10}x10)^2}$

$-\frac{x}{(log_{10}x)^2}$

Correct Answer:

$-\frac{1}{(log_{10}x10)^2}$

Explanation:

Let

$y=\log_{10} x$

$z=\log_x 10$

$z=\frac{\log_{10}10}{\log_{10}x}=\frac{1}{\log_{10}x}$

So, $y=\frac{1}{z}$

Therefore,

$\frac{dy}{dz}=-\frac{1}{z^2}$

$=-\frac{1}{(\log_{10}10)^2}$

final answer: The differential coefficient is $-\frac{1}{(\log_{10}10)^2}$
