Out of genuine curiosity, does d/dx of x^x=x^x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My logic is that d/dx(x^x)= (x)(x^(x-1))= x^((x-1)+1)= x^x

\[y=x^x \] Use log diff: First step take log of both sides: \[\ln(y)=\ln(x^x) => \ln(y) =x \ln(x) \] Now differentiate both sides: Then solve for y'

Anyways, I can finish the problem if you want
