Chain Rule, Log Differentiation & Rate of Change · Question 91 of 130

Question 91

MediumOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. For y=xx+x2y = x^{x} + x^{2}, log⁡y=xlog⁡x+2log⁡x\log y = x\log x + 2\log x.

II. For y=x2(x+1)3y = \frac{x^{2}}{(x + 1)^{3}}, x>0x > 0, 1ydydx=2x−3x+1\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 1}.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. I is false: xlog⁡x+2log⁡xx\log x + 2\log x is the logarithm of the product xx⋅x2x^{x} \cdot x^{2}, and the logarithm of a sum does not split.

  2. II is true: log⁡y=2log⁡x−3log⁡(x+1)\log y = 2\log x - 3\log(x + 1), whose derivative is 2x−3x+1\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{x + 1}.

Worth noting

I takes the logarithm of a sum term by term, which is right only for a product.
