If y=(xx)x,y = \left( x^{x} \right)^{x}, then dydx=\frac{dy}{dx} =

Show answer and solution
y=(xx)xy = \left( x^{x} \right)^{x}
∴logy=xlogxx=x2logx\therefore logy = xlogx^{x} = x^{2}logx
∴1ydydx=2xlogx+x2⋅1x=x(1+2logx)\therefore\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx} = 2xlogx + x^{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x} = x(1 + 2logx)
∴dydx=x⋅y(1+2logx)\therefore\frac{dy}{dx} = x \cdot y(1 + 2logx)
