    If \[y={{x}^{x}}\], then \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\]                             [AISSE 1984; DSSE 1982; MNR 1979; SCRA 1996; RPET 1996; Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

    A)            \[{{x}^{x}}\log ex\]

    B)            \[{{x}^{x}}\left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right)\]

    C)            \[(1+\log x)\]

    D)            \[{{x}^{x}}\log x\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[y={{x}^{x}}\]            Taking \[\log \]on both sides,          Þ \[\log y=x\log x\]            Differentiating with respect to x, we get            Þ  \[\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=1+\log x\]; \[\therefore \frac{dy}{dx}={{x}^{x}}(1+\log x)={{x}^{x}}\log ex\].
