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 \(x\):…
