Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$(\log\text{x})^{\cos\text{x}}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=(\log\text{x})^{\cos\text{x}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Taking log on both the sides,
$\log\text{y}=(\log\text{x})^{\cos\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\log\text{y}=\cos\text{x}\log(\log\text{x})$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\cos\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\log(\log\text{x})+\log(\log\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\cos\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\log\text{x}}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{x})+\log(\log\text{x})\times(-\sin\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\log\text{x}}\times\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)-\sin\text{x}\log(\log\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{y}\Big[\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}\log\text{x}}-\sin\text{x}\log(\log\text{x})\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=(\log\text{x}^{\cos\text{x}})\Big[\frac{\cos\text{x}}{\text{x}\log\text{x}}-\sin\text{x}\log(\log\text{x})\Big]$
