\sqrt{x^{5}}

sqrt(x^5)

Detail solution

Let $u = x^{5}$ .
Apply the power rule: $\sqrt{u}$ goes to $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} x^{5}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $x^{5}$ goes to $5 x^{4}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{5 x^{4}}{2 \sqrt{x^{5}}}$

The answer is:

\frac{5 x^{4}}{2 \sqrt{x^{5}}}
