Hello. Invoking:
derivative of x^x
and clicking on step-by-step, right near the end there is a superfluous step of "Solving for y'(x) ..." where y(x) is incorrectly multiplied on the right hand side only. Anyone notice this? Any workaround? Thanx.
This produces the misstep you describe and a wrong answer in Mathematica:
WolframAlpha["derivative of x^x", {{"Input", 2}, "Content"}, PodStates -> {"Input__Step-by-step solution"}] (* y^\[Prime](x)==x^x (1+log(x)) y(x) *)
Yes, this is exactly how I invoked the Wolfram|Alpha step-by-step solution.
Thank you.
Interesting how Wolfram|Alpha gets it wrong, and the Assistant gets it right. Hmm.
Vaguely, it is the kind of error I would expect of AI, not of W|A. However, the Notebook Assistant gives a correct derivation.
Thanx. As I do not (yet) have the Notebook Assistant, would you please show the output you got?
