(\partial)/(\partial x)(sqrt(x^2+16))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} + 16)

\frac{x}{x ^{2} + 16}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} + 16)

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 16} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} + 16)

= \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 16} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} + 16)

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2} + 16) = 2 x

= \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 16} \cdot 2 x

Simplify

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 16} \cdot 2 x : \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 16}

= \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 16}
