f(x) = sqrt(4x)
f'(x) = 1/2 (1/sqrt(4x)) * d/dx (4x)
f'(x) = 1/2 (1/sqrt(4x)) * (4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so, 4x^1/2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I dont understand the way you write.
OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):
do you know chain rule??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, but im not sure how do i solve prime when sqrtroot is invloved

I thought the answer is 2/x^-(1/2)?
OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):
derivative of x^0.5 is 0.5 (x^(0.5-1) = 0.5 (x^(-0.5)) = 0.5 ( 1/x^(0.5))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
mmmm...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its 2/x^-(0.5)?
OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):
what the final answer??

2/x^-(0.5)?
OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):
2/ sqrt(4x)
4x not x
in your form of answer 2/(4x)^-(0.5)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ahhh :( why im getting the wrong answer :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I entered the answer and it was wrong
OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):
well i suggest that you use the equation generator to give the question because otherwise there can be misunderstanding.

as i get it it should be
\[\frac{ 2 }{ \sqrt{4x} } = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{x} }\]

Thank you for helping me
