Using logarithmic differentiation or otherwise, differentiate x^(x^2)?
I calculated this and got the right answer according to Symbolab. My solution was #(x^(x^2))(x+2xlnx)# However, the solution for #y=x^(x^2)# on the worksheet I've been provided is #dy/dx = (x^((x^2)+1))(2lnx+1)#
How have they managed to get this?
