If $y=x \log x$, then which of the following is correct ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
$y=x \log x-1$ ......(1)
differentiating (1) w.r.t (x)
$\frac{d y}{d x} =\frac{d}{d x}(x \log x) \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\log x \frac{d x}{d x}+x \frac{d \log x}{d x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} =\log x . 1+x \times \frac{1}{x}$
$\frac{d y}{d x} =\log x+1$ ......(2)
now multiplying (2) with (x)
$\frac{x d y}{d x}=x \log x+x$
Substituting x log x with y from eq (1)
$\frac{x d y}{d x}=x+y \Rightarrow x\frac{d y}{d x}-x=y$
