00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.477
Here is the problem: derivative of (sqrt(x squared plus 1)) plus (sqrt(3x minus 2)).

2
00:00:07.927 --> 00:00:15.961
Find the derivative of (sqrt(x squared plus 1)) plus (sqrt(3 x minus 2)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:16.761 --> 00:00:19.780
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

4
00:00:20.230 --> 00:00:26.755
Chain rule — d by d x[the square root of u] equals u prime /(2the square root of u.

5
00:00:27.205 --> 00:00:30.746
Difference rule: differentiate each term separately.

6
00:00:31.196 --> 00:00:32.682
Constant multiple rule.

7
00:00:33.482 --> 00:00:40.251
Chain rule — d by d x[the square root of u] equals u prime /(2the square root of u.

8
00:00:40.701 --> 00:00:43.975
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

9
00:00:44.425 --> 00:00:51.089
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

10
00:00:51.539 --> 00:00:53.141
Combine and simplify.

11
00:00:53.941 --> 00:01:03.960
So the answer is f prime of x equals x / sqrt(x squared plus 1) plus 3 over 2 / sqrt(3 x minus 2).

12
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:17.332
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

13
00:01:18.132 --> 00:01:24.750
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
