The correct Answer is:
To find the second derivative of the function \( y = \frac{\log x}{x} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the first derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) Using the quotient rule for differentiation, which states that if \( y = \frac{u}{v} \), then \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \] Here, \( u = \log x \) and \( v = x \). - First, we find \( \frac{du}{dx} \) and \( \frac{dv}{dx} \): - \( \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{1}{x} \) - \( \frac{dv}{dx} = 1 \) Now, applying the quotient rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x \cdot \frac{1}{x} - \log x \cdot 1}{x^2} = \frac{1 - \log x}{x^2} \] ### Step 2: Find the second derivative \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \) Now we will differentiate \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 - \log x}{x^2} \) again using the quotient rule. Let \( u = 1 - \log x \) and \( v = x^2 \). - We need to find \( \frac{du}{dx} \) and \( \frac{dv}{dx} \): - \( \frac{du}{dx} = -\frac{1}{x} \) - \( \frac{dv}{dx} = 2x \) Now applying the quotient rule again: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \] Substituting in the values: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{x^2 \left(-\frac{1}{x}\right) - (1 - \log x)(2x)}{(x^2)^2} \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ = \frac{-x - 2x(1 - \log x)}{x^4} \] \[ = \frac{-x - 2x + 2x \log x}{x^4} \] \[ = \frac{-3x + 2x \log x}{x^4} \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ = \frac{x(-3 + 2 \log x)}{x^4} = \frac{-3 + 2 \log x}{x^3} \] ### Final Result Thus, the second derivative is: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{2 \log x - 3}{x^3} \] ---
