Answer

$u'= \frac{5x-1}{4x\sqrt{x}}$ $u'= \frac{5x-1}{4x^{3/2}}$

Work Step by Step

$u = \frac{5x+1}{2\sqrt x}$ quotient rule: $u' = \frac{2\sqrt x(5) - (5x+1)x^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{4x}$ $u' = \frac{10\sqrt x - 5\sqrt x-x^{-\frac{1}{2}})}{4x}$ $u' = \frac{5\sqrt x-x^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{4x}$ $u'= \frac{5x-1}{4x\sqrt{x}}$ $u'= \frac{5x-1}{4x^{3/2}}$
