Answer

$\frac{dy}{dx}=(x+2)^{(x+2)}(\ln{(x+2)}+1)$

Work Step by Step

Given $y=(x+2)^{(x+2)}$ $lny=ln(x+2)^{(x+2)}$ $lny=(x+2)ln{(x+2)}$ On differentiating both sides: $\frac{1}{y}\frac{dy}{dx}=\ln{(x+2)}+\frac{(x+2)}{(x+2)}$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=y(\ln{(x+2)}+1)$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=(x+2)^{(x+2)}(\ln{(x+2)}+1)$
