2Have you tried computing a few derivatives? What did you get when you logged both sides and tried differentiating? It helps if you actually write out what you've tried. And is there any reason you expect a closed form? – Simply Beautiful Art Jun 17 '19 at 07:15

Hint: $x^x = \mathrm{e}^{x \ln x}$. – Eric Towers Jun 17 '19 at 07:06
