OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y=x ^{x ^{2}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so far i have
\[x ^{2}(x)^{x ^{2}-1}(1)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dy/dx=x^2(x^(x^2-1)
=
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what i have written already
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no x is a variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):
huh?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you are right thats the derivative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is the answer: \[x ^{x ^{2}+1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y = x ^{x ^{2}}=\exp(x ^{2}.\ln (x))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
and now you can derive
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why are you changing it to a natural log?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it seems like youre making it more complicated than it has to be.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you have \[y=x ^{n} \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the condition to derive like that \[n.x ^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
look up to see what i have already written down
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that n is constant.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes I've seen what you've written
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and it's false because the power isn't constant
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if u take na log then u should also take nalog y then it become more complicated

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how do i start the problem? take ln of both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so when you have something like that \[y = f(x)^{g(x)}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[lny=x^2 lnx\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you must first write it \[y = \exp ( g(x).\ln (f(x))\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is what i wrote juts above you right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you don't have to do this ((\[lny=x ^{2}\ln(x)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you know how to derive this \[\exp(f(x))\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(\exp(u))'=u'\exp(u)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
for you u = x²ln(x) it's OK??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u'= 2xln(x) + x³ . 1/x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
excuse it's \[u'=2xln(x) + x ^{2}\times \frac{ 1 }{x }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you follow me ??
