Answer

\[2\]

Work Step by Step

It is given that \[f(x)=\ln (x+\ln x)\] Differentiating $f(x)$ with respect to $x$ using chain rule \[f'(x)=\frac{1}{x+\ln x}\cdot (x+\ln x)'\] \[f'(x)=\frac{1}{x+\ln x}\cdot (1+\frac{1}{x})\] \[f'(x)=\frac{1+\frac{1}{x}}{x+\ln x}\] \[f'(x)=\frac{x+1}{x(x+\ln x)}\] Put $x=1$ \[f'(1)=\frac{1+1}{1(1+\ln 1)}\] \[\Rightarrow f'(1)=\frac{2}{1}=2\] Hence $f'(1)=2$.
