The question is not written properly Namodesto
It should be like this
f(x)=x+2√xUse quotient ruleIfy=u(x)v(x)theny′=vu′−uv′v2u=x+2v=x0.5u′=1v′=0.5v−0.5=12√2
(1)f′(x)=√x−12√x(x−2)x(2)f′(x)=[√x−12√x(x−2)]÷x(3)f′(x)=[√x1−(x−2)2√x]÷x(4)f′(x)=[2√x2√x∗√x1−(x−2)2√x]÷x(5)f′(x)=[2√x2√x∗√x1−(x−2)2√x]÷x(6)f′(x)=[2√x√x2√x∗1−(x−2)2√x]×1x(7)f′(x)=[2x2√x−(x−2)2√x]×1x(8)f′(x)=2x−(x−2)2√x×1x(9)f′(x)=2x−(x−2)2x√x(10)f′(x)=x+22x√x
I have added lines to help you understand and I have put line numbers so you can tell me which bit you do not understand.
So let me know how you get on :)
Hi Melody,
thank you so much for your help, however I still don't understand how you got 2x. And also why do you divide by x?
