_______ \/ 1 + x
sqrt(1 + x)
Let u=x+1u = x + 1u=x+1.
Apply the power rule: u\sqrt{u}u goes to 12u\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}2u1
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x+1)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + 1\right)dxd(x+1):
Differentiate x+1x + 1x+1 term by term:
The derivative of the constant 111 is zero.
Apply the power rule: xxx goes to 111
The result is: 111
The result of the chain rule is:
The answer is:
1 ----------- _______ 2*\/ 1 + x
-1 ------------ 3/2 4*(1 + x)
3 ------------ 5/2 8*(1 + x)
