The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let \(g(x)=e^x x^x\). Then \(\ln g = x+x\ln x\).
Differentiate: \(g'(x)/g(x)=1+(\ln x+1)=2+\ln x\).
So \(g'(x)=e^x x^x(2+\ln x)\), i.e. the integrand is exactly \(g'(x)\).
\(I=[e^x x^x]_1^2 = e^2\cdot 2^2 - e\cdot 1^1 = 4e^2-e = e(4e-1)\).
Answer: (3) \(e(4e-1)\)
