Answer

$$x^{\sqrt{x}}\left(x^{\ln x}\right) \left( \frac{\ln \left(x\right)}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{2\ln \left(x\right)}{x} \right)$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y= x^{\sqrt{x}}\left(x^{\ln x}\right)$$ Since \begin{align*} \ln y&=\ln x^{\sqrt{x}}\left(x^{\ln x}\right)\\ &=\ln( x^{\sqrt{x}} )+\ln( x^{\ln x} )\\ &= \sqrt{x} \ln( x )+ (\ln x )^2 \end{align*} Differentiate both sides \begin{align*} \frac{1}{y}y'&= \frac{\ln \left(x\right)}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{2\ln \left(x\right)}{x}\\ y'&=x^{\sqrt{x}}\left(x^{\ln x}\right) \left( \frac{\ln \left(x\right)}{2\sqrt{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}+\frac{2\ln \left(x\right)}{x} \right) \end{align*}
