# dy/dx = e^(2x) \ x^(e^(2x)) \ { 1/x + ln x^2 }#
Explanation:
We have:
# y = x^(e^(2x)) #
We can take natural logarithms and use implicit logarithmic differentiation:
# ln y = ln {x^(e^(2x))} #
# \ \ \ \ \ = e^(2x) \ ln x #
Then we can use the product rule:
# 1/y \ dy/dx = e^(2x) \ 1/x + 2e^(2x) \ ln x #
# :. 1/y \ dy/dx = e^(2x) \ { 1/x + 2ln x }#
# :. dy/dx = y \ e^(2x) \ { 1/x + ln x^2 }#
# :. dy/dx = x^(e^(2x)) \ e^(2x) \ { 1/x + ln x^2 }#
# :. dy/dx = e^(2x) \ x^(e^(2x)) \ { 1/x + ln x^2 }#
