Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$\text{x}^{\sin{\text{x}}}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\text{x}^{\sin{\text{x}}}\ .....(\text{i})$
Taking log on both the sides,
$\log\text{y}=\log\text{x}^{\sin{\text{x}}}$
$\log\text{y}=\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}\ \big[\text{Since,}\log\text{a}^\text{b}=\text{b}\log\text{a}\big]$
Differentiating with respect to x,
$\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\sin\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\log\text{x}+\log\text{x}\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\sin\text{x}$
[Using product rule]
$\frac{1}{\text{y}}\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{dx}}=\sin\text{x}\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)+\log\text{x}(\cos\text{x})$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{y}\Big[\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}+(\log\text{x})(\cos\text{x})\Big]$
Put the value of y,
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\sin\text{x}}\Big[\frac{\sin\text{x}}{\text{x}}+(\log\text{x})(\cos\text{x})\Big]$

A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs. 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?
