Take ln⁡\ln of both sides, so ln⁡y=exln⁡x\ln y = e^x \ln x; differentiate implicitly and multiply back by yy to get x(ex)ex ⁣(ln⁡x+1x)x^{(e^x)} e^x\!\left(\ln x + \tfrac{1}{x}\right).

Given y=x(ex)y = x^{(e^x)}. Both the base xx and the exponent exe^x are functions of xx, so we use logarithmic differentiation.

Step 1 — take natural logarithm of both sides.

ln⁡y=ln⁡ ⁣(x(ex))=exln⁡x.\ln y = \ln\!\left(x^{(e^x)}\right) = e^x \ln x.

Step 2 — differentiate both sides with respect to xx. The left side needs the chain rule; the right side needs the product rule on exe^x and ln⁡x\ln x: …
