sqrt(x^2 + 4)
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x2+4u = x^{2} + 4.

  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(x2+4)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} + 4\right):

    1. Differentiate x2+4x^{2} + 4 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: x2x^{2} goes to 2x2 x

      2. The derivative of the constant 44 is zero.

      The result is: 2x2 x

    The result of the chain rule is:

    xx2+4\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} + 4}}

  4. Now simplify:

    xx2+4\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} + 4}}


The answer is:

xx2+4\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} + 4}}
