Derivative of sqrt(x)+4/sqrt(x)

1. Differentiate $\sqrt{x} + \frac{4}{\sqrt{x}}$ term by term:

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

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

      1. Let $u = \sqrt{x}$.

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

      3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{x}$:

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

         The result of the chain rule is:

         $$- \frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$

      So, the result is: $- \frac{2}{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

   The result is: $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}} - \frac{2}{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

2. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{x - 4}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{x - 4}{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$
