product rule = uv'+vu'
u=sqrtx or x^(1/2)
u'=.5x^(-1/2)
v=3x
v'=3
(x^(1/2))(3)+(3x)(.5^(-1/2))
simplify

I just distribute the sqrt(x) to the parentheses and took the derivative of that

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{x}(3x+0)=3(x)^{3/2}\]
Then take the derivative:
Multiply the exponent by the constant and subtract 1 from the exponent:
Derivative:
\[\frac{3}{2}*3x^{1/2}\]

\[\frac{3}{2}3x^{3/2-2/2}=\frac{9}{2}\sqrt{x}\]
