Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = [log(log(logx))]2 


Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = (log x)x + (x)logx


Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Solution: Let y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Let u = `x^square` and v = `square^x`

∴ y = u + v

Diff. w.r.to x, we get

`("d"y)/("d"x) = square/("d"x) + "dv"/square`   .....(i)

Now, u = xx

Taking log on both sides, we get

log u = x × log x

Diff. w.r.to x,

`1/"u"*"du"/("d"x) = x xx 1/square + log x xx square`

∴ `"du"/("d"x)` = u(1 + log x)

∴ `"du"/("d"x) = x^x (1 +  square)`    .....(ii)

Now, v = 20x

Diff.w.r.to x, we get

`"dv"/("d"x") = 20^square*log(20)`     .....(iii)

Substituting equations (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

`("d"y)/("d"x)` = xx(1 + log x) + 20x.log(20)
