Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

y=xxy = x^x

log⁡y=xlog⁡x\log y = x \log x

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. xx:

1y⋅dydx=x⋅1x+log⁡x⋅1\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = x \cdot \frac{1}{x} + \log x \cdot 1

1y⋅dydx=1+log⁡x\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \log x

dydx=y(1+log⁡x)\frac{dy}{dx} = y(1 + \log x)

dydx=xx(1+log⁡ex)\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = x^x(1 + \log_e x)} → (IV)


f(x)=axf(x) = a^x

dydx=axlog⁡ea\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = a^x \log_e a} → (III)


f(x)=aaf(x) = a^a

Here aa is a constant, so aaa^a is also a constant.

dydx=0\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = 0} → (II)


f(x)=xaf(x) = x^a

Using power rule with n=an = a (constant):

dydx=a⋅xa−1\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = a \cdot x^{a-1}} → (I)


(A) → (IV), (B) → (III), (C) → (II), (D) → (I)
