First, notice that this is a composition of functions. For instance, let's let $f(x)=\sqrt{x}$ and $g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$ . Then, the given equation is essentially $f(g(x))=\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1}$ . Thus, we can use the chain rule.

Recall the chain rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ . So, let's find the derivative of each function:

$f(x)=\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}$

We can use the Power Rule here:

$f'(x)=(x^\frac{1}{2})'=\frac{1}{2}(x^{-\frac{1}{2} })=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

Now:

$g(x)=7x^2+4x+1$

Again, use the Power Rule and Sum Rule

$g'(x)=(7x^2+4x+1)'=(7x^2)'+(4x)'+(1)'=14x+4$

Now, we can put them together:

$y'=f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{g(x)}} \cdot (14x+4)$

$y'=\frac{14x+4}{2\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} } =\frac{7x+2}{\sqrt{7x^2+4x+1} }$

0.5 is ten times as great as?

GarryVolchara [31]

Let's cut the chit chat, and formalities. I'm not one for greetings or unnecessary niceties.

Divide 0.5 by 10=
0.05

Check work.
0.05 x 10 = 0.5
