If y=x(xsin⁡x)y = x^{(x \sin x)} then dydx=?\frac{dy}{dx} = ?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Take log: ln⁡y=xsin⁡x⋅ln⁡x\ln y = x\sin x \cdot \ln x. Differentiating both sides: (1/y)(dy/dx)=(sin⁡x)(ln⁡x)+x(cos⁡x)(ln⁡x)+xsin⁡x⋅(1/x)=sin⁡x(1+ln⁡x)+xcos⁡xln⁡x(1/y)(dy/dx) = (\sin x)(\ln x) + x(\cos x)(\ln x) + x\sin x \cdot (1/x) = \sin x(1 + \ln x) + x\cos x \ln x. Hence dy/dx=xxsin⁡x[sin⁡x(1+log⁡x)+xlog⁡xcos⁡x]dy/dx = x^{x\sin x}[\sin x(1 + \log x) + x\log x \cos x].

Note: Option 3 prints sin⁡(1+log⁡x)\sin(1 + \log x), which is best read as sin⁡x⋅(1+log⁡x)\sin x \cdot (1 + \log x) given the standard derivation; we have selected option 3 as the intended answer.
