How do you find the derivative of #sqrt x^2#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Carl S. · Monzur R. Apr 21, 2018 #d/dx[sqrt{x}^2] = d/dx[x] =1# Explanation: We can simplify the expression: #sqrt{x}^2 = x^{0.5 times 2} = x^1 = x# #d/dx[x] = 1# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
