The correct Answer is:
To find the second derivative of the function \( y = \log(\log x) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the First Derivative We start by differentiating \( y \) with respect to \( x \). 1. **Differentiate \( y = \log(\log x) \)**: Using the chain rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\log x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\log x) \] We know that \( \frac{d}{dx}(\log x) = \frac{1}{x} \). Therefore, \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\log x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{x \log x} \] ### Step 2: Find the Second Derivative Next, we differentiate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) to find the second derivative. 2. **Differentiate \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x \log x} \)**: We will use the quotient rule here. The quotient rule states that if \( u = 1 \) and \( v = x \log x \), then: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right) = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \] Here, \( \frac{du}{dx} = 0 \) (since \( u = 1 \)) and we need to find \( \frac{dv}{dx} \). - **Find \( v = x \log x \)**: Using the product rule: \[ \frac{dv}{dx} = \log x + x \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \log x + 1 \] Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{x \log x}\right) = \frac{(x \log x)(0) - (1)(\log x + 1)}{(x \log x)^2} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{- (\log x + 1)}{(x \log x)^2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the second derivative of \( y = \log(\log x) \) is: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{- (\log x + 1)}{(x \log x)^2} \] ---
