derivative

\frac{1}{2 x}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (x)

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{d}{d x} (x^{\frac{1}{2}})

Apply the Power Rule:

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{a}) = a \cdot x^{a - 1}

= \frac{1}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} : \frac{1}{2 x}

= \frac{1}{2 x}
