Help with Differentiating an equation. Picture included, with answer- need it explained
so this would equal 7sqrt(x) = 7x^(1/2)e^x g'(x) = 7x^(1/2)e^x + 7e^x(1/2x^(-1/2))
then it would be 7/2)x^(1/2)*e^x?????? how does ((1/2)x^(-1/2)) become 2x+1
\[(7e^x\sqrt x)'=7(e^x\sqrt x)'\] right?, now let 7 outside, since it is constant, we put it in later. Apply product rule, you have \[(e^x)' \sqrt x + e^x (\sqrt x)'= e^x \sqrt x+e^x \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt x}\] put 7 in, and use \(\sqrt x = x^{1/2}\), you have \[7e^x x^{1/2}+\dfrac{7}{2}e^x x^{-1/2}\] multiple and divide the first term by 2, you get \[\dfrac{2*7e^x x^{1/2}}{2}+\dfrac{7}{2}e^x x^{-1/2}\] Now, factor \(\dfrac{7}{2}e^x x^{-1/2} out\) Note: \(x^{1/2}= x^{2/2-1/2}= x^{2/2}*x^{-1/2}=x*x^{-1/2}\) the answer follows
