Question

What is the derivative of 1/(squareroot of x) and why?

Answer 1

What is:
\[\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\]
In terms of powers?

Answer 2

What I mean is, rewrite it as \[x^a\]

Answer 3

x^(-1/2). Is that the derivative though? I remember my professor telling me that it's something like 1/((2)(square root of x)). Maybe I'm mistaken

Answer 4

Well it is x^(-1/2), now just use the power rule.

Answer 5

\[\large \frac{d}{dx} x^n = \frac{nx^{n-1}}{n-1}\]

Answer 6

uhm get rid of the denominator..

Answer 7

\[n*x^{n-1}\]

Answer 8

PLEASE HELP AsAP
1. a statement that you prove true is a(n) ?

2. When a conditional and it's converse are true, you can write them as a single true statement called a(n) ?

Answer 9

.... yes.
