Differentiate:
In case its hard to see...
its The square root of ((x plus the square root of) x plus the square root of x.)
I can't figure it out.
The chain rule makes me want to die.

I take it you used an online function calculator?
I don't know if you are BSing me or not, but I'll try your answer.
Ty.
If I ever feel the need to know what that equation is about...I will ask Travis...
Is this one of those things like the solving of the Lie of 8 that really doesn't mean anything once it's solved?
Regardless, that made my brain itch just looking at it.
Yea, not to mention I have to submit the answer online using things like,
"(1/2)(x+(x+x^(1/2))^(1/2))^(-1/2) (1+(1/2)(x+x^(1/2))^(-1/2))(1+(1/2)x^(-1/2))"
Thanks technology.
No, I did it by hand...... took an entire college ruled page to solve. For ease of viewing I then posted the answer in Microsoft Equation Editor format.
If I had my TI-89 I could doublecheck myself. It's at home.
hmmm...ill try it.
Well F. I put in (4sqrt(x)x(sqrt(sqrt(x)x(sqrt(x)+1)))+2sqrt(x)+1)/(8sqrt(x)x(sqrt(sqrt(x)x(sqrt(x)+1)))xsqrt(sqrt(sq rt(x)x(sqrt(x)+1)+x)))...which is what's in the box, and it still marked me wrong.
I have 2/5 submissions used.
Dumb question...but that is a radical right, not a divider and it's all one line?
It's all about LaTeX, MS
It will take me a while to input that...ill try it though.
ty.
Tell 'em it can't be solved because there's an elephant in the way.
I got the answer right on my 5th and final submission.
The answer was:
aka:
(((1/((2sqrt(x))))+1)/((((2sqrt(x+sqrt(x))))))+1)/(2sqrt(sqrt(x+sqrt(x))+x))
Thanks for the help. Hope you enjoyed a little calc review.
Good catch... I accidentally dropped my factor of 2 on the 6th step....
Yeah, I was just about to point that out.
I could care less about the real math....keep posting those maybe-fake answers.
D'oh, mt bad. I pulled the d(x+sqrt(x))/dx factor outside the parentheses when I should have left it in without even noticing it as I was typing it in LaTeX. Whenever I tutor people in math I always tell them never to skip a single step, and I skipped the most important step of deriving it on a piece of paper before typesetting it.
Here's the correct derivation in case anyone was confused by the one I put up above
Yeah, I was going to say something about that, too. Pretty sloppy work, guys.
I should have just given the Serge Lang proof:
Solution is obvious QED
