Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = `x^(x^x)`

Sum

Solution

y = `x^(x^x)`

Taking logarithm of both sides, we get

log y = `log x^(x^x)`

∴ log y = xx log x

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

`"d"/("d"x)(log y) = x^x*"d"/("d"x)(log x) + logx*"d"/("d"x)(x^x)`

∴ `1/y*("d"y)/("d"x) = x^x*1/x + logx*"d"/("d"x)(x^x)`  ......(i)

Let u = xx

Taking logarithm of both sides, we get

log u = log xx

∴ log u = x log x

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

`"d"/("d"x)(log "u") = x*"d"/("d"x)(log x) + logx*"d"/("d"x)(x)`

∴ `1/"u"*"du"/("d"x) = x*1/x + logx*1`

∴ `1/"u"*"du"/("d"x)` = 1 + log x

∴ `"du"/("d"x)` = u(1 + log x)

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

Substituting (ii) in (i), we get

`1/y*("d"y)/("d"x) = x^x*1/x + logx*x^x(1 + log x)`

∴ `("d"y)/("d"x) = yx^x[1/x + logx(1 + logx)]`

∴ `("d"y)/("d"x) = x^(x^x)*x^x[1/x + logx(1 + logx)]`

Find `("d"y)/("d"x)`, if y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Solution: Let y = x(x) + 20(x) 

Let u = `x^square` and v = `square^x`

∴ y = u + v

Diff. w.r.to x, we get

`("d"y)/("d"x) = square/("d"x) + "dv"/square`   .....(i)

Now, u = xx

Taking log on both sides, we get

log u = x × log x

Diff. w.r.to x,

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

∴ `"du"/("d"x)` = u(1 + log x)

∴ `"du"/("d"x) = x^x (1 +  square)`    .....(ii)

Now, v = 20x

Diff.w.r.to x, we get

`"dv"/("d"x") = 20^square*log(20)`     .....(iii)

Substituting equations (ii) and (iii) in equation (i), we get

`("d"y)/("d"x)` = xx(1 + log x) + 20x.log(20)
