Question:

If \(y = \log_{10} x + \log_e x\), then \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) is equal to

Show Hint

Always convert $\log_a x$ to natural log before differentiation.

  • $\frac{1 - \log_{10} e}{x}$
  • $\frac{1 + \log_e 10}{x}$
  • $x + \log_{10} e$
  • $x + \log_e 10$
  • $\frac{1}{x}\left[\frac{1}{\log_e 10} + 1\right]$

The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Change of base: \[ \log_{10} x = \frac{\ln x}{\ln 10} \]

Step 1:
Rewrite function
\[ y = \frac{\ln x}{\ln 10} + \ln x \]

Step 2:
Differentiate
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x \ln 10} + \frac{1}{x} \]

Step 3:
Take common factor
\[ = \frac{1}{x}\left(\frac{1}{\ln 10} + 1\right) \] Final Conclusion:
Option (E)
