2^(x/log(x))

Detail solution

Let $u = \frac{x}{\log{\left(x \right)}}$ .
$\frac{d}{d u} 2^{u} = 2^{u} \log{\left(2 \right)}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x}{\log{\left(x \right)}}$ :
1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  
  $f{\left(x \right)} = x$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)}$ .
  
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. The derivative of $\log{\left(x \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{x}$ .
  Now plug in to the quotient rule:
  
  $\frac{\log{\left(x \right)} - 1}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{2^{\frac{x}{\log{\left(x \right)}}} \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{2^{\frac{x}{\log{\left(x \right)}}} \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right) \log{\left(2 \right)}}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$
