The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

We have, $y = (tanx)^{sinx}$ Taking log on both sides, we get $logy = sinx \,log(tanx)$ Differentiating $w$.$r$.$t$. $x$, we get $\frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{sin\,x}{tan\,x}\cdot sec^{2}x+cosx\,log\left(tanx\right)$ $=\left(tanx\right)^{sinx}\left[sec\,x+cosx\left(log\,tan\,x\right)\right]$

Continuity & Differentiability

Definition of Differentiability

f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by

Differentiability

Definition of Continuity

Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a,  if

It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.

Continuity

If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
