Question

Please help me solve the following....
f ' (x)=(sqrt x) '+ (4/x) '

Answer 1

what are we supposed to find?

Answer 2

f-prime of x

Answer 3

oh I see. so they just want you to find the derivative

Answer 4

yes, sorry that was not clear enough

Answer 5

So.. f'(x) = (x^(1/2)+(4x^-1))'

Answer 6

= (1/2)x^(-1/2) - 4x^(-2)

Answer 7

or f'(x) = 1/(2sqrt(x)) - 4/(x^2)

Answer 8

nice picture-swap lol

Answer 9

thank you for the help, my algebra is pathetic so i guess i must review what you did in greater detail

Answer 10

sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)
1/x^a = x^(-a)

Answer 11

thanks
