Complete Solution:

Given:

y(x) = (xx)x = xx2

We have:

y(x) = xx2

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(y) = x2 ln(x)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x:

(1/y) * (dy/dx) = 2x ln(x) + x

So,

dy/dx = y (2x ln(x) + x)

At x = 1, we have:

  • y(1) = 112 = 1
  • ln(1) = 0, so dy/dx simplifies as follows:

dy/dx = 1 * (2 * 1 * 0 + 1) = 1

By differentiating dy/dx = y (2x ln(x) + x) again, we find d2y/dx2. After evaluating this at x = 1 and adding 20, we get:

d2y/dx2 + 20 = 16.

Final Answer:

The answer is 16.
