\frac{d}{d x} ((x^{2} - 4)^{\frac{1}{2}})

\frac{x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} ((x^{2} - 4)^{\frac{1}{2}})

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} - 4)

= \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} - 4)

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} - 4) = 2 x

= \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cdot 2 x

Simplify

\frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cdot 2 x : \frac{x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}
