Given function is
y = ( x+ \frac{1}{x} ) ^ x + x ^{ 1 + \frac{1}{x} }
Let's take t = ( x+ \frac{1}{x} ) ^ x
Now, take log on both sides
\log t =x \log ( x+ \frac{1}{x} )
Now, differentiate w.r.t. x
we get,
\frac{1}{t}.\frac{dt}{dx}=\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )+x(1-\frac{1}{x^2}).\frac{1}{\left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )} = \frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1}+\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )\\ \frac{dt}{dx} = t(\left (\frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1} \right )+\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right ))\\ \frac{dt}{dx} = \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )^x (\left (\frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1} \right )+\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right ))
Similarly, take  k = x^{1+\frac{1}{x}} 
Now, take log on both sides
\log k = ({1+\frac{1}{x}})\log x
Now, differentiate w.r.t. x
We get,
\frac{1}{k}.\frac{dk}{dx}=\frac{1}{x} \left ( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right )+(-\frac{1}{x^2}).\log x = \frac{x^2+1}{x^2}+\frac{-1}{x^2}.\log x\\ \frac{dk}{dx} = t(\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}+\left (\frac{-1}{x^2} \right )\log x)\\ \frac{dk}{dx} = x^{x+\frac{1}{x}}\left (\frac{x^2+1-\log x}{x^2} \right )
Now,
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dt}{dx}+\frac{dk}{dx}
\frac{dy}{dx} = \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )^x (\left (\frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1} \right )+\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right ))+x^{x+\frac{1}{x}}\left (\frac{x^2+1-\log x}{x^2} \right )

Therefore, the answer is   \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right )^x (\left (\frac{x^2-1}{x^2+1} \right )+\log \left ( x+\frac{1}{x} \right ))+x^{x+\frac{1}{x}}\left (\frac{x^2+1-\log x}{x^2} \right )
