Applications of Derivatives

Question:

The second order derivative of $x^3$ log x is :

Options:

$x(5+6log\, x)$

$x(2+3log\, x)$

$5x+6log x$

$3x+6log x$

Correct Answer:

$x(5+6log\, x)$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $x(5+6log\, x)$

$y=x^3\log x$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=3x^2\log x+x^2$

so $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=6x\log x+3x+2x$

$=x(5+6\log x)$
