Class 12 Maths · Continuity And Differentiability · Long Answer #68

If y^x=e^(y−x) with y>0 and ln y≠0, show y′=(1+ln y)²/ln y.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: (1+ln y)²/ln y
  1. Taking natural logarithms gives x ln y=y−x, hence x(1+ln y)=y. On this relation 1+ln y cannot be zero because y>0.
  2. Differentiate: ln y+(x/y)y′=y′−1. Thus (1−x/y)y′=1+ln y.
  3. The relation gives x/y=1/(1+ln y), so 1−x/y=ln y/(1+ln y). Dividing, with ln y≠0, yields the stated quotient.
  4. Therefore y′=(1+ln y)²/ln y.

  • [1 mark] Differentiate: ln y+(x/y)y′=y′−1. Thus (1−x/y)y′=1+ln y.
  • [1 mark] The relation gives x/y=1/(1+ln y), so 1−x/y=ln y/(1+ln y). Dividing, with ln y≠0, yields the stated quotient.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore y′=(1+ln y)²/ln y.
