Derivative of these questions​

Answer 1

Answer:  $\bold{y'=\dfrac{1}{2(a-b)^2}\bigg(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+a}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+b}}\bigg)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+a}-\sqrt{x+b}}\\\\\\\text{Rationalize the denominator:}\\y=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+a}-\sqrt{x+b}}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x+b}}{\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x+b}}\bigg)\\\\\\y=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x+b}}{x+a-x-b}\\\\\\y=\dfrac{\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x+b}}{a-b}\\\\\\\text{Apply the derivative (derivative of the numerator (top) divided by the}\\\text{denominator (bottom) squared).}$

$\text{Derivative of }\sqrt{x+a}\quad \rightarrow \quad (x+a)^{\frac{1}{2}}\quad = \quad \dfrac{1}{2}(x + a)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\text{Derivative of }\sqrt{x+b}\quad \rightarrow \quad (x+b)^{\frac{1}{2}}\quad = \quad \dfrac{1}{2}(x + b)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\text{Derivative of}\ \dfrac{\sqrt{x+a}+\sqrt{x+b}}{a-b}:\\\\= \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}(x + a)^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\dfrac{1}{2}(x + b)^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{(a-b)^2}$

$\text{Factor out }\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{from the numerator:}\\\\\dfrac{(x+a)^{-\frac{1}{2}}+(x+b)^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{2(a-b)^2}\\\\\\\text{Move the terms with negative exponents to the denominator:}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2(a-b)^2}\bigg(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+a}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+b}}\bigg)$
