derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} ((x + 2)^{\frac{1}{2}})

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{2 ( x + 2 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x + 2)

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

\frac{d}{d x} (x + 2) = 1

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

Simplify

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