I have to derive
11 15 2015 4 21 AM Office Lens.jpg

I did all the way but stuck with the ">=" to "=" sign. what is the logic behind it ? is it safe to write "approximate" while taking the square-root on both side ? or the energy term "V" has gone during the calculation so it has only momentum "p" ?

It should be a ##\geq## sign. Concerning the homework (you should post in the homework section!) think about what's the commutator between ##\hat{x}## and ##\hat{H}## and what it has to do with the general Heisenberg uncertainty relations for arbitrary pairs of observables!
