  1. A \((-x)^x[-1+\log (-x)]\)
  2. B \((-x)^{\mathrm{x}}[1+\log (-x)]\)
  3. C \((-x)^{\mathrm{x}}[1-\log (-x)]\)
  4. D \((-x)^{\mathrm{x}}[-1-\log (-x)]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((-x)^{\mathrm{x}}[1+\log (-x)]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|x|=-x \quad \forall x \lt 0 . \Rightarrow|x|^x=(-x)^x \Rightarrow y=(-x)^x\) \(\log y=x \log (-x) \Rightarrow \frac{y^{\prime}}{y}=1+\log (-x)\) \(\frac{d y}{d x}=(-x)^x(\log (-x)+1)\)
