How do you differentiate #(x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 1 Answer Andrea S. Mar 13, 2018 #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) =(5x^2 +8x +3)/(2sqrt(x+2))# Explanation: Using the product rule: #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) = (d/dx(x^2+3)) sqrt(x+2) + (x^2+3)(d/dx sqrt(x+2))# #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) =2x sqrt(x+2) + (x^2+3)/(2sqrt(x+2))# Now simplifying: #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) =(4x (x+2) + (x^2+3))/(2sqrt(x+2))# #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) =(4x^2 +8x + x^2+3)/(2sqrt(x+2))# #d/dx ( (x^2+3)sqrt(x+2)) =(5x^2 +8x +3)/(2sqrt(x+2))# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
