The derivative of $ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} $
I am supposed to find the derivative of $ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} $. My answer is $$ 2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot frac{ln x-xcdot frac{1}{x}}{ln^{2}x}cdot frac{1}{x} .$$ Is it correct? Thanks.

You are almost correct. You have just an extra factor $1/x$ at the end. The correct derivative is
$$D(2^{frac{x}{ln x}})=2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot Dleft(frac{x}{ln x}right)=2^{frac{x}{ln x}} cdot ln 2 cdot frac{ln x-xcdot frac{1}{x}}{ln^{2}x}.$$
Isn't your answer the same as mine?

Let $y=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}$. Then
$$ln{y}=ln{2}^{frac{x}{ln{x}}}=frac{x}{ln{x}}cdotln2$$
Now $$frac{1}{y}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}=ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$
Now multiply by $y$ and get
$$frac{dy}{dx}=yln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$
You can do all sorts of algebra to reduce this but it is the derivative.

Mathematica gives:
$$frac{log (2) 2^{frac{x}{log (x)}} (log (x)-1)}{log ^2(x)}$$
But that is after simplification, right? Mine is without.

Let $y=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}$. Then
$$ln{y}=ln{2}^{frac{x}{ln{x}}}=frac{x}{ln{x}}cdotln2$$
Now $$frac{1}{y}cdotfrac{dy}{dx}=ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$
Now multiply by $y$ and get
$$frac{dy}{dx}=yln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]=2^frac{x}{ln{x}}ln{2}left[frac{ln{x}-1}{(ln x)^2}right]$$
You can do all sorts of algebra to reduce this but it is the derivative.

Mathematica gives:
$$frac{log (2) 2^{frac{x}{log (x)}} (log (x)-1)}{log ^2(x)}$$
But that is after simplification, right? Mine is without.
