    Finding the derivative of a function with a radical

    Sorry I meant to put derivative, This is where I got stuck at 6x(x^2+1)^-1/2 6x*d/dx(x^2+1)^-1/2+(x^2+1)^-1/2*6 6x*1/2(x^2+1)^-3/2+(x^2+1)^-1/2*6

    Finding the derivative of a function with a radical

    Homework Statement Find the differential Homework Equations Chain rule : dy/du=dy/du*du/dx Product rule: f(x)g'(x) + g(x)f'(x) The Attempt at a Solution I have tried to move the radical to the top of the equation by making it into an exponent (x^2+1)^-1/2. I then used the product rule and the...
