What is the derivative of #y=pi^x+x^pi#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Alan N. Sep 29, 2016 #y' = ln(pi)*x^pi + pix^(pi-1)# Explanation: #y=pi^x+x^pi# Let's split this into two: #y = y_1=pi^x# plus #y_2 =x^pi# #lny_1= xlnpi# #1/y_1 y_1' = lnpi# By Implicit differentiation #:.y_1' = lnpi * x^pi# #y_2' = pix^(pi-1)# By Power rule Now: #y' = y_1' + y_2'# Hence: #y' = ln(pi)*x^pi + pix^(pi-1)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
