  _________
\/ 2*x - 5

$$\sqrt{2 x - 5}$$

sqrt(2*x - 5)

Detail solution

Let $u = 2 x - 5$ .
Apply the power rule: $\sqrt{u}$ goes to $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(2 x - 5\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $2 x - 5$ 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 $-5$ is zero.
  The result is: $2$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x - 5}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x - 5}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x - 5}}$
