Question

what is the derivative of f(x)=2sqrt(x+(1/4))?

Answer 1

\[2\sqrt{x+\frac{1}{4}} = 2 \frac{d}{dx} [x+\frac{1}{4}]^{\frac{1}{2}}\]
does that help? You'll be using power and chain rule.

Answer 2

so it would be \[f'(x)=\frac{ 1 }{ x+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } }\] ?

Answer 3

shoot that's not what i meant. i meant for the x+1/4 to be under a square root

Answer 4

yes.

Answer 5

awesome, thank you so much!
