sqrt(x + 1)
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x+1u = x + 1.

  2. Apply the power rule: u\sqrt{u} goes to 12u\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x+1)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + 1\right):

    1. Differentiate x+1x + 1 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      2. The derivative of the constant 11 is zero.

      The result is: 11

    The result of the chain rule is:

    12x+1\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 1}}

  4. Now simplify:

    12x+1\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 1}}


The answer is:

12x+1\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x + 1}}
