Answer:

The value of  \frac{d y}{d x} \text { at } x=e \text { is } 2 e^{e}

Hint:

Taking logarithm on both sides.

Given:

y=x^{x}

Solution:  

y=x^{x}

Taking logarithm on both sides.

\log y=x \log x

Differentiating with respect to x on both sides.,

\frac{1}{y} \frac{d y}{d x}=x \cdot \frac{1}{x}+1 . \log x

          \begin{aligned} &=1+\log x \\\\ &\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=y(1+\log x) \\\\ &\Rightarrow x^{x}(1+\log x) \end{aligned}

So at x=e,

\begin{aligned} &\frac{d y}{d x}=e^{e}(1+\log e) \\\\ &=e^{e}(1+1) \\\\ &=2 e^{e} \end{aligned}
