\frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{6 - 2 x}

Transform

Detail solution

Let $u = 6 - 2 x$ .
Apply the power rule: $\sqrt{u}$ goes to $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(6 - 2 x\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $6 - 2 x$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of the constant $6$ is zero.
  2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
    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: $2$
    So, the result is: $-2$
  The result is: $-2$
The result of the chain rule is:

$- \frac{1}{\sqrt{6 - 2 x}}$
Now simplify:

$- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 \sqrt{3 - x}}$

The answer is:

- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 \sqrt{3 - x}}
