Find the derivative of y = xˣ with respect to x.
Find the derivative of y = xˣ with respect to x.
- A. xˣ
- B. xˣ log x
- C. xˣ (1 + log x)
- D. x^(x − 1)
Answer: C) xˣ (1 + log x)
Explanation: Take log on both sides: log y = x log x. Differentiate: (1/y) dy/dx = 1 × log x + x × (1/x) = 1 + log x. dy/dx = y(1 + log x) = xˣ(1 + log x).
