Derivative of x^(2x)
$begingroup$
Maybe a simple question but I can't find a good example of it on the internet.
What is the derivative of:
$x^{2x}$
What is the simplest method of determining the derivative and what kind of rules are involved?

Hint: $x^{2x} = e^{2x ln(x)}$. Use the chain rule.

HINT: Consider $y=x^{2x}$. Take $log$ both side. So, we get $log y=2x cdot log x$. Then apply chain rule..

As mentioned, first rewrite $x^{2x} = e^{2xln(x)}$. Then, by the chain rule,
$$frac{d}{dx}big(e^{2xln(x)}big)=(2ln(x)+2)e^{2xln(x)}=(2(ln(x)+1))e^{2xln(x)}=2x^{2x}(ln(x)+1)$$.

As mentioned, first rewrite $x^{2x} = e^{2xln(x)}$. Then, by the chain rule,
$$frac{d}{dx}big(e^{2xln(x)}big)=(2ln(x)+2)e^{2xln(x)}=(2(ln(x)+1))e^{2xln(x)}=2x^{2x}(ln(x)+1)$$.
