Differentiate the function $\log_7(\log x)$ with respect to $x$. |
$\frac{1}{x \log x}$ $\frac{\ln 7}{x \log x}$ $\frac{1}{\log x \ln 7}$ $\frac{1}{x \log x \ln 7}$ |
$\frac{1}{x \log x \ln 7}$ |
The correct answer is Option (4) → $\frac{1}{x \log x \ln 7}$ ## Let $y = \log_7(\log x) = \frac{\log(\log x)}{\log 7}$ (by change of base formula). The function is defined for all real numbers $x > 1$. Therefore $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\log 7} \frac{d}{dx}(\log(\log x))$ $= \frac{1}{\log 7} \frac{1}{\log x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\log x)$ $= \frac{1}{x \log 7 \log x}$ |
