Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. u′1+u2\frac{u'}{1 + u^{2}} with u=xu = \sqrt{x}, u2=xu^{2} = x and u′=12xu' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}.

  2. 12x(1+x)\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}(1 + x)}.

Worth noting

11+x\frac{1}{1 + x} stops before multiplying by the inner derivative 12x\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}.
