_________ \/ 2*x + 1 ----------- x
sqrt(2*x + 1)/x
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
_________ 1 \/ 2*x + 1 ------------- - ----------- _________ 2 x*\/ 2*x + 1 x
_________ 1 2 2*\/ 1 + 2*x - ------------ - ------------- + ------------- 3/2 _________ 2 (1 + 2*x) x*\/ 1 + 2*x x ---------------------------------------------- x
