  1. A \(\exp \left(e^{\frac{1}{c}}\right)\)
  2. B \(\exp \left(2^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)\)
  3. C \(\exp \left(5^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\exp \left(5^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given that, \[ f(x)=e^{(x)^{\frac{1}{x}}, x>0} \] Taking log on both sides, we get \[ \log +(x)=(x)^{\frac{1}{x}}=g(x) \] Here, \(g(x)=x^{\frac{1}{x}}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \log g(x)=\frac{1}{x} \log x\) On differentiating w.r.t. \(x\), we get…
