Ok  Namodesto

I have made some changes to the original post, let me know how you get on.

 

Why did I divide by x:

I used the quotient rule.  The denominator of the quotient rule is v^2

v=sqrt{x}

v^2 = x

 

Anyway let me know if youdo or if you don't understand :))

The question is not written properly Namodesto

 

It should be like this

 

f(x)=x+2xUse quotient ruleIfy=u(x)v(x)theny=vuuvv2u=x+2v=x0.5u=1v=0.5v0.5=122

 

 

 

(1)f(x)=x12x(x2)x(2)f(x)=[x12x(x2)]÷x(3)f(x)=[x1(x2)2x]÷x(4)f(x)=[2x2xx1(x2)2x]÷x(5)f(x)=[2x2xx1(x2)2x]÷x(6)f(x)=[2xx2x1(x2)2x]×1x(7)f(x)=[2x2x(x2)2x]×1x(8)f(x)=2x(x2)2x×1x(9)f(x)=2x(x2)2xx(10)f(x)=x+22xx

 

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?
