How do you differentiate y = x ^ sqrt(x)y=x√x? Calculus Differentiating Exponential Functions Differentiating Exponential Functions with Other Bases 1 Answer Cesareo R. Oct 5, 2016 dy/dx=1/2 x^(-1/2 + sqrt[x]) (2 + Log_e(x))dydx=12x−12+√x(2+loge(x)) Explanation: y = x ^ sqrt(x)y=x√x Applying the loglog transformation ti both sides log_ey=sqrt(x) log_e xlogey=√xlogex so dy/y = (1/2log_e x/sqrt(x)+sqrt(x)/x)dxdyy=(12logex√x+√xx)dx so dy/dx = (1/2log_e x/sqrt(x)+sqrt(x)/x)y = (1/2log_e x/sqrt(x)+sqrt(x)/x)x^sqrt(x)dydx=(12logex√x+√xx)y=(12logex√x+√xx)x√x Finally dy/dx=1/2 x^(-1/2 + sqrt[x]) (2 + Log_e(x))dydx=12x−12+√x(2+loge(x)) Answer link Related questions How do I find f'(x) for f(x)=5^x ?
