Q54 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 2) · Mathematics

If yx=xxx,x>0 then d2xdy2+20 at x=1 is equal to

Correct answer: 16

Solution

Given,

yx=xxx

Taking loge both side

lnyx=x2·lnx

Now differentiating both side w.r.t x we get,

1yx·y'x=x2x+2x·lnx

y'x=yxx+2x lnx .......(i)

Given y1=1, so y'1=1

Now rewriting equation (i) again we get,

dxdy=1xx2+11+2lnx

Now d2xdy2=ddxxx2+11+2lnx-1dxdy

⇒d2xdy2=-xx21+2lnxx2+3+2x2lnxxx21+2lnx3×1

⇒d2xdy2x=1=-4

So, d2xdy2x=1+20=-4+20=16

Hence, the correct answer is 16.
