Can someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong with this differentiate problem? Equation in comments

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

\[f(x)=3\sqrt{x}.sinx\] this is the function right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. My teacher hasn't taught us the chain rule yet

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

so diffrentiating it \[f'(x)=3[\sqrt{x}.cosx+sinx.\frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x} }]=3\sqrt{x}.cosx+sinx.\frac{ 1 }{ \frac{ 2 }{ 3} \sqrt{x}}]\]

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

ok chain rule is not needed here see your mistake? it will be 2/3=0.67 not 3/2=1.5

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

finally\[f'(x)=3\sqrt{x}.cosx+\frac{ sinx }{ 0.67.\sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh okay

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

:)
