QUESTION 1:
𝑑𝑦
Let 𝑦 = log(log 𝑥) , becomes equal to
𝑑𝑥

𝑥
a.
log 𝑥
1
b. 𝑥 log 𝑥
1
c. 𝑥 2 log 𝑥
𝑥2
d. log 𝑥

Correct Answer: b
𝑑𝑦
Detailed Solution: Y= log (log x), determine 𝑑𝑥

𝐿𝑒𝑡 𝑡 = log 𝑥
∴ 𝑦 = 𝑙𝑜𝑔 𝑡,
𝑑𝑦 1
∴ 𝑑𝑡
= 𝑡
𝑑𝑡 1
𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑥
𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑡 1 1 1
∴ 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑡
× 𝑑𝑥 = log 𝑥 × 𝑥 = 𝑥 log 𝑥

Correct Answer: d

Detailed Solution: ∫ 𝑥 log 𝑥 𝑑𝑥

1 𝑥2
= log 𝑥 ∫ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 − ∫ 𝑥 . 2
𝑑𝑥

𝑥2 1 𝑥2 𝑥2 𝑥2
= 2
log 𝑥 −2 . 2
= 2
