find the derivative of x^x^x

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

y = x^x^x ln(y) = ln(x^x^x)

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

ln(y) = x^x*ln(x)

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

oh god lol myin u can finish this

hero (hero):

bahrom, you're taking too long, hurry up and finish it!

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

meh.. let's just use our good old wolf

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

is it?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no I don't think so...

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=x => y'=1 \] \[y=x^x => \ln(y)=\ln(x^x)=> \ln(y)=x \ln (x)=> \frac{y'}{y}=\ln(x)+x \cdot \frac{1}{x}\] \[ \text{ so } y=x^x => y'=x^x(\ln(x)+1)\] \[ \text{ so if we have } y=x^{x^{x}} \] \[ \text{ then } \ln(y)=\ln(x^{x^{x}})\] \[=> \ln(y)=x^x \ln(x) \] So we have after applying product rule while applying other rules \[\frac{y'}{y}=x^x(\ln(x)+1) \ln(x)+x^x \cdot \frac{1}{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ho ho ho

myininaya (myininaya):

now you solve the last equation for y' and you are done don't forget to replace y with \[ x^{x^{x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you said y=x and then y=x^x .. i didn't get that part

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

imagine she said y and y1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh . ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^{x^x}=e^{x\ln(x^x)}=e^{x^2\ln(x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get \[e^{x^2\ln(x)}\times (x^2\times \frac{1}{x}+2x\ln(x))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you transform exln(xx)=ex2ln(x) ?
