    \[\frac{d}{dx}({{x}^{x}})\]is equal to:

    A)  \[log\text{ }x\]                                

    B)         \[\log {{e}^{x}}\]

    C)         \[{{x}^{x}}log\text{ }x\]                              

    D)         \[{{x}^{x}}\log e\,x\]

    E)         \[{{x}^{x}}\log \text{ }(1-x)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let \[y={{x}^{x}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[log\text{ }y=x\text{ }log\text{ }x\] On differentiating w. r. t. \[x,\]we get \[\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=x.\frac{1}{x}+\log x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{dy}{dx}={{x}^{x}}(1+\log x)\]                 \[={{x}^{x}}(\log \,ex)\]
