The correct Answer is:
To differentiate the function \( y = (\log x)^{\log x} \) with respect to \( x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Take the logarithm of both sides We start by taking the natural logarithm of both sides to simplify the differentiation process: \[ \log y = \log((\log x)^{\log x}) \] Using the property of logarithms, we can bring down the exponent: \[ \log y = \log x \cdot \log(\log x) \] ### Step 2: Differentiate both sides Now, we differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \). We will use implicit differentiation on the left side and the product rule on the right side: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\log y) = \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} \] For the right side, we apply the product rule: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\log x \cdot \log(\log x)) = \frac{d}{dx}(\log x) \cdot \log(\log x) + \log x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\log(\log x)) \] Calculating the derivatives: - The derivative of \( \log x \) is \( \frac{1}{x} \). - The derivative of \( \log(\log x) \) is \( \frac{1}{\log x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{x \log x} \). Thus, we have: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(\log x \cdot \log(\log x)) = \frac{1}{x} \cdot \log(\log x) + \log x \cdot \frac{1}{x \log x} = \frac{\log(\log x)}{x} + \frac{1}{x} \] ### Step 3: Set the derivatives equal Now we set the derivatives equal to each other: \[ \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\log(\log x)}{x} + \frac{1}{x} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) To isolate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \), we multiply both sides by \( y \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = y \left( \frac{\log(\log x)}{x} + \frac{1}{x} \right) \] ### Step 5: Substitute back for \( y \) Recall that \( y = (\log x)^{\log x} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = (\log x)^{\log x} \left( \frac{\log(\log x)}{x} + \frac{1}{x} \right) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the derivative of \( y = (\log x)^{\log x} \) with respect to \( x \) is: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(\log x)^{\log x}}{x} \left( \log(\log x) + 1 \right) \]
