The interval in which \(y=\ln (\ln (x)), x>1\) is decreasing is

The interval in which \(y=\ln (\ln (x)), x>1\) is decreasing is
  1. \((-\infty, 0) \cup(2, \infty)\)
  2. \((0,2)\)
  3. \((0,1)\)
  4. None of the above

Solution

Given function \(y=l(\ln (x)), x > 1\) \(\therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{x \ln x}, x > 1\) \(\because y\) is a decreasing, then \(\frac{d y}{d x} < 0 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{x \ln x} < 0\) \(\because x > 1 \Rightarrow \ln x < 0 \Rightarrow x < 1\), which is not possible as \(x > 1\) \(\therefore x \in \phi\), for decreasing
