Use logarithmic differentiation.
y = ( ln ( x ) ) x
Take ln of both sides: ln ( y ) = x ln ( ln ( x ) )
Now use implicit differentiation: 1 y y = x × 1 ln ( x ) × 1 x + ln ( ln ( x ) ) × 1
y y = 1 ln ( x ) + ln ( ln ( x ) )
Multiply both sides by y:
y = y × [ 1 ln ( x ) + ln ( ln ( x ) ) ]
but we know what y is, thus:
y = ( ln ( x ) ) x × [ 1 ln ( x ) + ln ( ln ( x ) ) ]
