Q100 / 180 · COMEDK 2020 · Mathematics

If $y=2^{\log x}$, then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is

  • A
    $2^{\log x} \cdot \log 2$
  • B
    $\frac{2^{\log x}}{\log 2}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\frac{2^{\log x} \log 2}{x}$
  • D
    $\frac{2^{\log x}}{x}$

Solution

We have, $$ \begin{gathered} y=2^{\log x} \\ \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=2^{\log x} \cdot \log 2 \cdot \frac{d}{d x}(\log x)=\frac{2^{\log x} \log 2}{x} \end{gathered} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
