derivation y=x^x*lnx

OpenStudy (alfie):

\[x^{xlnx} OR x^xlnx\]

OpenStudy (alfie):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its x^x multiply lnx

OpenStudy (lalaly):

\[\large { x^{xlnx}}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lalaly

OpenStudy (lalaly):

\[\large{x^x} \times lnx\]

OpenStudy (lalaly):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes lalaly

OpenStudy (lalaly):

you want the derivative of that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay do you know about chain rule ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the derivative of $$x^x$$ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[xx ^{x-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, note in x^x the exponent is not a constant but the independent variable itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so derivative would be $$ x^x (1+\ln x)$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Final answer: $$ x^{x-1}+x^x \ln x(1+\ln x)$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not correct

OpenStudy (zarkon):

it is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I differentiated $$ \large{x^x} \times lnx$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you use logarithm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(lnx1+ 1/xlnx) x^lnx that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* (lnx1+1/xlnx)x^xlnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are not making any sense. what is x1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y'= (lnx+1+1/xlnx)x ^{x \times}lnx\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

FoolForMath gave you the correct answer for the question you asked.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
