Question

Find `"dy"/"dx"`, if y = `2^("x"^"x")`.

Sum

Solution

y = `2^("x"^"x")`

Taking logarithm of both sides, we get

`"dy"/"dx" = 2^("x"^"x") * log 2 * "d"/"dx" ("x"^"x")`          ...(i)

Let u = xx

log u = log (xx)

∴ log y = x log x

Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get

`1/"u" * "du"/"dx" = "x" * "d"/"dx" (log "x") + log "x" * "d"/"dx" ("x")`

= `"x" * 1/"x" + log "x" (1)`

∴ `1/"u" * "du"/"dx" = 1 + log "x"`

∴ `"dy"/"dx" = "u"(1 + log "x")`

∴ `"d"/"dx"("x"^"x") = "x"^"x" (1 + log "x")`       ...(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i), we get

`"dy"/"dx" = 2^("x"^"x") * log 2 * "x"^"x" (1 + log "x")`

`"dy"/"dx" = 2^("x"^"x") * "x"^"x" * log 2 (1 + log "x")`
