= x 2 2 x
Note: In this square root derivative, x is stated
as the function u in this equation; the rule
for the numerator is that it is the derivative of
u, and in this equation function u is
symbolized as x thus making it derivative of x
which is equal to 1, denominator is twice the
2
given thus 2 x
