If y=| x|^ |x| , then the value of d y d x at x= - 6 is
Options
- A2^ - 6 [6 2- 3 ]
- B2^ 6 [6 2+ 3 ]
- C2^ - 6 6 [6 2+ 3 ]
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. 2^ - 6 [6 2- 3 ]
Step-by-step solution
Given y=| x|^ |x| In the neighbourhood of - 6 ,|x| and | x| both are negative i.e., y=(- x)^ -x Taking log on both sides, we get y=-x (- x) aligned & aligned 1 y d y d x = & (-x) 1 - x (- x)+ (- x)(-1) & =-x x- (- x) & =-[x x+ (- x)] aligned & aligned d y d x & =-y[x x+ (- x)] aligned & aligned ( d y d x )_ x=- 6 = 2^ - 6 [6 2- 3 ] aligned aligned
