    can anyone please solve it : (x^m)^(x^m)^(x^m)=(y^n)^(y^n)^(y^n) find dy/dx

    (x^m)^((x^m)^(x^m))=(y^n)^((y^n)^(y^n))

    (y^n)^((y^n)^(y^n))-(x^m)^((x^m)^(x^m))=0

    Frankly, I don't understand MathLover1's answer! I do understand that MathLover1 changed the problem slightly. (x^m)^(x^m)^(x^m) is ambiguous. It could be either [(x^m)^(x^m)]^(x^m), which is what MathLover1 changed it to, or it could be (x^m)^[(x^m)^(x^m)], which is much more difficult.

    For example, 2^3^2 is ambiguous. It could be (2^3)^2= 8^2= 64[ or it could be 2^{3^2}= 2^9= 1024.


    (x^a)^b= x^{ab} so (x^m)^(x^m)= x^{mx^m} and
    [(x^m)^(x^m)]^(x^m)= (x^{mx^m})^{x^m}= x^{m(x^m)(x^m)}= x^{mx^{2m}}.

    To differentiate that, let \(u= mx^{2m}\) and we have \(x^u\).

    Since u is a function of x, we need to use "logarithmic differentiation". Let \(y= x^u\). Then \(ln(y)= ln(x^u)= u ln(x)\). The derivative of \(ln(y)\) with respect to x is \(\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}\).

    On the right, use the product rule. \(\frac{duln(x)}{dx}= \frac{du}{dx}ln(x)+ u\frac{dln(x)}{dx}\).
    Since \(u= mx^{2m}\), \(\frac{du}{dx}= 2m^2x^{2m- 1}\). Of course \(\frac{dln(x)}{dx}= \frac{1}{x}\). So \(\frac{duln(x)}{dx}= 2m^2x^{2m- 1}ln(x)+ mx^{2m}/x= x^{2m-1}(2m^2ln(x)+ m)\).

    So we have \(\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}= x^{2m-1}(2m^2ln(x)+ m\).

    Since \(y= x^u= x^{mx^{2m}}\)
    \(\fra{dy}{dx}= x^{mx^{2m}+ 2m- 1}(2m^2ln(x)+ m))\).

    Your LaTex is not appearing as LaTex. Take a look at your replies involving this style of typing.

    I wasn't using Latex because the original post did not use Latex.

    I cannot read what you typed. Take a look at your reply.

    I have tried \(x^2\), [math]x^2[/math], and $x^2$. None seem to work. What should I do?

    Wolfram does not provide a screen for typing math solutions to convert to LaTex form. The tiny space bar allows for typing certain questions and, of course, most equations.

    that is true, but to convert to LaTex form is not a point

    Do you know a good app or site that converts to LaTex?
