The derivative of $ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} $












0














I am supposed to find the derivative of $ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} $. My answer is $$ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot frac{ln x-xcdot frac{1}{x}}{ln^{2}x}cdot frac{1}{x} .$$ Is it correct? Thanks.

          You are almost correct. You have just an extra factor $1/x$ at the end. The correct derivative is
          $$D(2^{frac{x}{ln x}})=2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot Dleft(frac{x}{ln x}right)=2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot frac{ln x-xcdot frac{1}{x}}{ln^{2}x}.$$

          Let $y=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}$. Then



          $$ln{y}=ln{2}^{frac{x}{ln{x}}}=frac{x}{ln{x}}cdotln2$$



          Now $$frac{1}{y}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}=ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$



          Now multiply by $y$ and get



          $$frac{dy}{dx}=yln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$



          You can do all sorts of algebra to reduce this but it is the derivative.

            Let $y=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}$. Then



            $$ln{y}=ln{2}^{frac{x}{ln{x}}}=frac{x}{ln{x}}cdotln2$$



            Now $$frac{1}{y}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}=ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$



            Now multiply by $y$ and get



            $$frac{dy}{dx}=yln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$



            You can do all sorts of algebra to reduce this but it is the derivative.
