Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Start by identifying the function y = x ln(x). To find the first derivative y', we need to apply the product rule since the function is a product of two terms: x and ln(x). The product rule states that (uv)' = u'v + uv'.
Step 2: Differentiate x ln(x) using the product rule. Let u = x and v = ln(x). Compute u' (the derivative of x) which is 1, and compute v' (the derivative of ln(x)) which is 1/x. Substitute these into the product rule formula: y' = u'v + uv' = (1)(ln(x)) + (x)(1/x).
Step 3: Simplify the expression for y'. Combine terms: y' = ln(x) + 1. This is the first derivative of the function.
Step 4: To find the second derivative y'', differentiate y' = ln(x) + 1. The derivative of ln(x) is 1/x, and the derivative of the constant 1 is 0. Therefore, y'' = 1/x.
Step 5: Verify the results. The first derivative y' = ln(x) + 1 and the second derivative y'' = 1/x match the correct answer provided in the problem statement.
