Question:

If $y=x \log x$, then which of the following is correct ?

Options:

$x \frac{d y}{d x}-x=y$

$x \frac{d y}{d x}+y=x$

$x \frac{d y}{d x}+x y=0$

$y \frac{d y}{d x}+x=y$

Correct Answer:

$x \frac{d y}{d x}-x=y$

Explanation:

$y=x \log x-1$     ......(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)

$\frac{x d y}{d x}=x+y \Rightarrow x\frac{d y}{d x}-x=y$
