Explanation:
The function can be rewritten as
(2x)^(1/2)
To differentiate this, use the power rule and chain rule.
d/dx[(2x)^(1/2)]=1/2(2x)^(-1/2)d/dx[2x]
Differentiating with the power rule gives the
This gives:
d/dx[(2x)^(1/2)]=1/2(2x)^(-1/2)(2)
The
d/dx[(2x)^(1/2)]=(2x)^(-1/2)=1/(2x)^(1/2)=1/sqrt(2x)
