Derivative of sqrt(2x-1)

1. Let $u = 2 x - 1$.

2. Apply the power rule: $\sqrt{u}$ goes to $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}$

3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 1\right)$:

   1. Differentiate $2 x - 1$ term by term:

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

         1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

         So, the result is: $2$

      2. The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.

      The result is: $2$

   The result of the chain rule is:

   $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x - 1}}$$

4. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x - 1}}$$

The answer is:
