Consider a function f x = x x , ∀ x ∈ 1 , ∞ . If g x is the inverse function of f x , then the value of g ′ 4 is equal to
Options
- Alog 2 e
- B1 2 log 2 e e
- C1 4 log 2 e e
- D1 2 log e 2 e
Correct answer
C. 1 4 log 2 e e
Step-by-step solution
f x = x x ⇒ log f x = x log x Differentiating with respect to x , we get, f ′ x = x x 1 + log x Now, by property g ′ f x = 1 f ′ x ∵ g x is the inverse of f x Putting x = 2 g ' f 2 = 1 f ' 2 ⇒ g ' 4 = 1 2 2 1 + log 2 = 1 4 log 2 e e
