Question:

The value of $\frac{d}{dx} [x^n \log_a xe^x ] = $

Updated On: Jul 7, 2022
  • $e^x \log_a x + \frac{x^{n-1}}{\log_e a}$
  • $ e^{x} x^{n-1} \left[x \log_{a} x + \frac{1}{\log_{e}a} + x \log_{a}x \right]$
  • $nx^{n-1} \log_{a} \left(xe^{x}\right) $
  • $x^{n } \log_{a} \left(xe^{x}\right)$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\frac{d}{dx} \left[x^{n} \left(\log_{a} x\right)e^{x}\right] $ $=x^{n} \log_{a} x. e^{x} +x^{n}e^{x}. \frac{1}{x} \log_{a}e + nx^{n-1} \log_{a}x . e^{x} $ $= e^{x} \left[x^{n} \log_{a} x+x^{n-1} \log_{a} e + nx^{n-1} \log_{a}x\right] $ $= x^{ n-1} e^{x} \left[x \log_{a} x + \frac{1}{\log_{e}a} + n \log_{a}x\right]$

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)
