Differentiate \(\log _a x\) with respect to \(a^x\)
- A \(\dfrac{a^x}{x}\)
- B \(\dfrac{1}{x a^x}\)
- C \(\dfrac{a^x}{x(\log a)^2}\)
- D \(\dfrac{1}{x a^x(\log a)^2}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\dfrac{1}{x a^x(\log a)^2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(u = \log_{a} x\) and \(v = a^{x}\). We need to find \(\dfrac{du}{dv} = \dfrac{du/dx}{dv/dx}\). Using the change of base formula, \(u = \log_{a} x = \dfrac{\ln x}{\ln a}\). Differentiating \(u\) with respect to \(x\):…
