derivative of x^ln(x)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

You can solve this question using logarithmic differentiation

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Let, \[\large{y = x^{\ln x}}\] Taking log both sides: \[\large{\implies \ln y = \ln (x^{\ln x})}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

You can simplify the RHS by using this : \[\large{\ln (a^b) = b\ln a}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Can you simplify the RHS now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya wait

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

But first: \[\large{\color{blue}{\text{Welcome to }}\color{red}{\text{OPENSTUDY!!}}}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

;) I forgot this part ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just take all my medals @vishweshshrimali5

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:P Then what would happen to your 99 smart score ? O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guys i couldnt

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay no problem. What part you didn't get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's ok, I'm a selfless man.

Miracrown (miracrown):

?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:D I need many of such people ^^^ @iambatman ;)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Working together we can defeat satellite :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is rhs= ln(x).ln(x)??

Miracrown (miracrown):

I can defeat him easily, :)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Perfect

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Very good :) @Miracrown I will pass on your acceptance letter of challenge to @satellite73 :)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay Sanket lets proceed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

You got this part: \[\large{\ln y = \ln (x^{\ln x})}\] \[\implies \large{\ln y = (\ln x)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got [2*ln(x)]/x

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Is that your final answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

How did you get that ?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

You have missed something... Check it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d(lnx.lnx)/dx

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

* in the answer

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Okay

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Very good. You are correct in that part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oky then whats wrong??

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So on differentiating both sides we got this: \[\large{\cfrac{1}{y} \ dy = \cfrac{2 \ln x}{x}}\] Clear ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ya,thanks man

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Got the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Great! Congrats :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks to u :D

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

It was my pleasure :) And let me give you your first medal on OS for your sincere efforts

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Enjoy the time on OS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya thanks...i finally found something for my homeworks :D
