Q. Let h(x)=xln(x).Find h′(x).Choose 1 answer:(A) 2x1+x1(B) 2xln(x)+x1(C) 2x1⋅x1(D) 2xln(x)+x1
Differentiate x: Differentiate x with respect to x to get 21x−21.Differentiate ln(x) with respect to x to get x1.
Differentiate ln(x): Now apply the product rule: h′(x)=(x)′(ln(x))+(x)(ln(x))′. This gives us h′(x)=(21)x(−21)ln(x)+(x)(x1).
Apply product rule: Simplify the expression: h′(x)=(21)x(−21)ln(x)+2x1. Oops, there's a mistake here. The second term should be 2x1 without the ln(x).
