Q. Let h(x)=log(x).Note: Here, we are referring to log base 10.Find h′′(x).Choose 1 answer:(A) −ln(10)log(x)(B) −x2ln(10)1(C) −x21(D) log(x)
Identify derivative of h(x): Identify the first derivative of h(x)=log(x). The first derivative of the logarithm function with respect to x is given by the formula: h′(x)=dxd[log(x)]=xln(10)1
Differentiate h′(x): Differentiate h′(x) to find the second derivative h′′(x). To find h′′(x), we take the derivative of h′(x) with respect to x: h′′(x)=dxd[xln(10)1] Using the quotient rule or recognizing this as the derivative of a reciprocal function, we get: h′′(x)=−x2ln(10)1
