Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is \(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{4\sqrt{xe^{\sqrt{x}}}},x>0\)
Let \(y=\sqrt{e^{\sqrt{x}}}\)
Then,\(y^2=e^{\sqrt{x}}\)
By differentiating this relationship with respect to \(x\),we obtain
\(\implies y^2=e^{\sqrt{x}}\)
\(⇒2y\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{\sqrt{x}}\frac{d}{dx}(\sqrt{x}) \)  [By applying the chain rule]
\(⇒2y\frac{dy}{dx}=e^{\sqrt{x}}\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\)
\(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{4y\sqrt{x}}\)
\(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{4\sqrt{e^{\sqrt{x}}}\sqrt{x}}\)
\(⇒\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{e^{\sqrt{x}}}{4\sqrt{xe^{\sqrt{x}}}},x>0\)

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Logarithmic Functions:

The inverses of exponential functions are the logarithmic functions. The exponential function is y = ax and its inverse is x = ay. The logarithmic function y = logax is derived as the equivalent to the exponential equation x = ay. y = logax only under the following conditions: x = ay, (where, a > 0, and a≠1). In totality, it is called the logarithmic function with base a.

The domain of a logarithmic function is real numbers greater than 0, and the range is real numbers. The graph of y = logax is symmetrical to the graph of y = ax w.r.t. the line y = x. This relationship is true for any of the exponential functions and their inverse.

Exponential Functions:

Exponential functions have the formation as:

f(x)=bx

where,

b = the base

x = the exponent (or power)
