NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.7 Question 9

Find the second derivative of \(\log{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)}\) with respect to x; for x>1.

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(- \frac{\log{\left(x \right)} + 1}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}\)
  1. Work for x>1.
  2. Differentiate the outer function and multiply by the inner derivative: \(\frac{d}{d x} \log{\left(\log{\left(x \right)} \right)}\) = \(\frac{1}{x \log{\left(x \right)}}\).
  3. Differentiate the first derivative \(\frac{1}{x \log{\left(x \right)}}\) again.
  4. Product rule: differentiate each variable factor once, keeping the other factors unchanged. Here \(\frac{d}{d x} \frac{1}{x \log{\left(x \right)}}\) = \(- \frac{1}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{1}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}\).
  5. Combining the terms gives y″ = \(- \frac{\log{\left(x \right)} + 1}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}\).
