MCQ
If $x^y=e^{x-y}$ then $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ is :
  • A
    $\frac{1+\text{x}}{1+\log\text{x}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1-\log\text{x}}{1+\log\text{x}}$
  • C
    Not defined.
  • $\frac{\log\text{x}}{(1+\log\text{x})^2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{\log\text{x}}{(1+\log\text{x})^2}$
We have, $x^y=e^{x-y}$
Taking $\log$ on both sides we get,
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\log\text{x}=(\text{x}-\text{y})\log)_\text{e}\text{e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\log\text{x}=\text{x}-\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\log\text{x}+\text{y}=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}(1+\log\text{x})=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}}{(1+\log\text{x})}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(1+\log\text{x})\times1-\text{x}\times\Big(1+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)}{(1+\log\text{x})^2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{1+\log\text{x}-1}{(1+\log\text{x})^2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\log\text{x}}{(1+\log\text{x})^2}$
