If \(x=e^{y+e^{y+e^{y+\ldots}}}\), then \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\)

If \(x=e^{y+e^{y+e^{y+\ldots}}}\), then \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\)
  1. \(\frac{1-x}{x}\)
  2. \(\frac{1}{x}\)
  3. \(\frac{x}{1+x}\)
  4. \(\frac{1+x}{x}\)

Solution

It is given that, \(\begin{array}{lll} & x =e^{y+e^{y+e^{y+\ldots}}} \\ \Rightarrow & x =e^{y+x} \\ \Rightarrow & \log _e x =x+y \Rightarrow y=\log _e x-x \end{array}\) On differentiating both sides with respect to ' \(x\) ', we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{x}-1=\frac{1-x}{x}\) Hence, option (a) is correct.
