Calculate the derivative of the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = \sqrt{5x+x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think of rewriting this function as the following:\[(5x+x ^{2})^{1/2}\] Now you can use the Power rule for derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[2x+5/2\sqrt{5x+x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes make sure you have \[2\sqrt{5x+x ^{2}}\] all as the denominator and (2x+5) as your numerator.
