Answer

$$y' = {\pi ^{x\tan x}}\ln \pi \left( {x{{\sec }^2}x + \tan x} \right)$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & f\left( x \right) = {\pi ^{x\tan x}} \cr & y = {\pi ^{x\tan x}} \cr & {\text{take logarithm natural on both sides}} \cr & \ln y = \ln {\pi ^{x\tan x}} \cr & {\text{logarithm properties}} \cr & \ln y = x\tan x\ln \left( \pi \right) \cr & {\text{differentiate}} \cr & \left( {\ln y} \right)' = \left( {x\tan x\ln \left( \pi \right)} \right)' \cr & \left( {\ln y} \right)' = \ln \pi \left( {x\tan x} \right)' \cr & {\text{product rule}} \cr & \frac{{y'}}{y} = \ln \pi \left( {x{{\sec }^2}x + \tan x} \right) \cr & y' = y\ln \pi \left( {x{{\sec }^2}x + \tan x} \right) \cr & {\text{replace }}y = {\pi ^{x\tan x}} \cr & y' = {\pi ^{x\tan x}}\ln \pi \left( {x{{\sec }^2}x + \tan x} \right) \cr} $$
