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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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