What is the derivative of #x*x^(1/2)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Product Rule 2 Answers P dilip_k Mar 18, 2016 #=3/2x^(1/2)# Explanation: #d/dx(x*x^(1/2))=d/dx(x^(1/2+1))=d/dx(x^(3/2))=3/2x^(3/2-1)=3/2x^(1/2)# Answer link ali ergin Mar 18, 2016 #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=3/2*sqrt x# Explanation: #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=d/(d x) (x)*x^(1/2)+d/(d x)(x^(1/2))*x# #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=1*x^(1/2)+1/2*(x^(1/2-1))*x# #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=x^(1/2)+1/2*x^(1/2)# #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=x^(1/2)(1+1/2)# #d/(d x)(x*x^(1/2))=3/2*sqrt x# Answer link Related questions What is the Product Rule for derivatives?
