To differentiate y=(ln⁡x)cos⁡x+(sin⁡x)ln⁡xy = (\ln x)^{\cos x} + (\sin x)^{\ln x}, we will use logarithmic differentiation for each term separately, then add the results.

Let y=u+vy = u + v, where u=(ln⁡x)cos⁡xu = (\ln x)^{\cos x} and v=(sin⁡x)ln⁡xv = (\sin x)^{\ln x}.
Then dydx=dudx+dvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{du}{dx} + \frac{dv}{dx}.

  1. Differentiate u=(ln⁡x)cos⁡xu = (\ln x)^{\cos x}.

    Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

    ln⁡u=ln⁡((ln⁡x)cos⁡x)\ln u = \ln \left((\ln x)^{\cos x}\right)

    Using the logarithm property ln⁡(ab)=bln⁡a\ln(a^b) = b \ln a:

    ln⁡u=cos⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)\ln u = \cos x \cdot \ln(\ln x)

    Now, differentiate both sides with respect to xx using the product rule on the right side:

    1ududx=ddx(cos⁡x)⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡x⋅ddx(ln⁡(ln⁡x))\frac{1}{u} \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \cos x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\ln x))

    We know ddx(cos⁡x)=−sin⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(\cos x) = -\sin x.
    For ddx(ln⁡(ln⁡x))\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\ln x)), use the chain rule: ddx(ln⁡f(x))=f′(x)f(x)\frac{d}{dx}(\ln f(x)) = \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}. Here f(x)=ln⁡xf(x) = \ln x, so f′(x)=1xf'(x) = \frac{1}{x}.

    ddx(ln⁡(ln⁡x))=1ln⁡x⋅1x=1xln⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\ln x)) = \frac{1}{\ln x} \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{x \ln x}

    Substitute these derivatives back:

    1ududx=−sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡x⋅1xln⁡x\frac{1}{u} \frac{du}{dx} = -\sin x \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \cos x \cdot \frac{1}{x \ln x}

    Multiply by uu to solve for dudx\frac{du}{dx}:

    dudx=u(−sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡xxln⁡x)\frac{du}{dx} = u \left(-\sin x \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \frac{\cos x}{x \ln x}\right)

    Substitute u=(ln⁡x)cos⁡xu = (\ln x)^{\cos x} back:

    dudx=(ln⁡x)cos⁡x(−sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡xxln⁡x)\frac{du}{dx} = (\ln x)^{\cos x} \left(-\sin x \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \frac{\cos x}{x \ln x}\right)
  2. Differentiate v=(sin⁡x)ln⁡xv = (\sin x)^{\ln x}.

    Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

    ln⁡v=ln⁡((sin⁡x)ln⁡x)\ln v = \ln \left((\sin x)^{\ln x}\right)

    Using the logarithm property ln⁡(ab)=bln⁡a\ln(a^b) = b \ln a:

    ln⁡v=ln⁡x⋅ln⁡(sin⁡x)\ln v = \ln x \cdot \ln(\sin x)

    Now, differentiate both sides with respect to xx using the product rule on the right side:

    1vdvdx=ddx(ln⁡x)⋅ln⁡(sin⁡x)+ln⁡x⋅ddx(ln⁡(sin⁡x))\frac{1}{v} \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(\ln x) \cdot \ln(\sin x) + \ln x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\sin x))

    We know ddx(ln⁡x)=1x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x) = \frac{1}{x}.
    For ddx(ln⁡(sin⁡x))\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\sin x)), use the chain rule:

    ddx(ln⁡(sin⁡x))=1sin⁡x⋅ddx(sin⁡x)=1sin⁡x⋅cos⁡x=cot⁡x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(\sin x)) = \frac{1}{\sin x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\sin x) = \frac{1}{\sin x} \cdot \cos x = \cot x

    Substitute these derivatives back:

    1vdvdx=1x⋅ln⁡(sin⁡x)+ln⁡x⋅cot⁡x\frac{1}{v} \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{x} \cdot \ln(\sin x) + \ln x \cdot \cot x

    Multiply by vv to solve for dvdx\frac{dv}{dx}:

    dvdx=v(ln⁡(sin⁡x)x+ln⁡x⋅cot⁡x)\frac{dv}{dx} = v \left(\frac{\ln(\sin x)}{x} + \ln x \cdot \cot x\right)

    Substitute v=(sin⁡x)ln⁡xv = (\sin x)^{\ln x} back:

    dvdx=(sin⁡x)ln⁡x(ln⁡(sin⁡x)x+ln⁡x⋅cot⁡x)\frac{dv}{dx} = (\sin x)^{\ln x} \left(\frac{\ln(\sin x)}{x} + \ln x \cdot \cot x\right)
  3. Combine the derivatives.

    dydx=dudx+dvdx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{du}{dx} + \frac{dv}{dx} dydx=(ln⁡x)cos⁡x(−sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡xxln⁡x)+(sin⁡x)ln⁡x(ln⁡(sin⁡x)x+ln⁡x⋅cot⁡x)\frac{dy}{dx} = (\ln x)^{\cos x} \left(-\sin x \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \frac{\cos x}{x \ln x}\right) + (\sin x)^{\ln x} \left(\frac{\ln(\sin x)}{x} + \ln x \cdot \cot x\right)

    The final answer is (ln⁡x)cos⁡x(−sin⁡x⋅ln⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡xxln⁡x)+(sin⁡x)ln⁡x(ln⁡(sin⁡x)x+ln⁡x⋅cot⁡x)\boxed{(\ln x)^{\cos x} \left(-\sin x \cdot \ln(\ln x) + \frac{\cos x}{x \ln x}\right) + (\sin x)^{\ln x} \left(\frac{\ln(\sin x)}{x} + \ln x \cdot \cot x\right)}.
