(a) If x = e^x / y, prove that dy/dx=(log x -1)/(( log x )^2)
If $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x} / \mathrm{y}}$, prove that $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\frac{\log \mathrm{x}-1}{(\log \mathrm{x})^{2}}$
Check the differentiability of $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{x}^{2}+1, & 0 \leq \mathrm{x}<1 \\ 3-\mathrm{x}, & 1 \leq \mathrm{x} \leq 2\end{array}\right.$ at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=1$.
Marking-scheme solution
$$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{x}=\mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}} \Rightarrow \log \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\log \mathrm{x}} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{d \mathrm{y}}{d \mathrm{x}}=\frac{(\log \mathrm{x})(1)-\mathrm{x}\left(\dfrac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\right)}{(\log \mathrm{x})^{2}}=\frac{\log \mathrm{x}-1}{(\log \mathrm{x})^{2}}
\end{aligned}
$$
LHD at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=1$
$$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{f}(1-h)-\mathrm{f}(1)}{-h}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left[(1-h)^{2}+1\right]-2}{-h}=2
$$
RHD at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=1$
$$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{f}(1+h)-\mathrm{f}(1)}{h}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{[3-(1+h)]-2}{h}=-1
$$
as $\displaystyle \mathrm{LHD} \neq \mathrm{RHD}$, so $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is not differentiable at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=1$
