i have to use the product rule, right?

Nah you got to use me

a trinity rule? o.0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = x √(x^2 + 5)
=> dy/dx = √(x^2 + 5) + x * x / √(x^2 + 5)
=> dy/dx at (2, 6)
= √(2^2 + 5) + 2^2 / √(2^2 + 5)
= 3 + 4/3
= 13/3
The equation of the tangent line passes through (2, 6) and has a slope = 13/3
=> the eqn. of the tangent line is
y - 6 = (13/3) (x - 2)
=> 13x - 3y = 8.

so how did you know to get the equation, => dy/dx = √(x^2 + 5) + x * x / √(x^2 + 5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You find the square root f:(X²+ 5))
