Answer

$$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+\sqrt x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)$$

Work Step by Step

$$h(x)=x\tan(2\sqrt x)+7$$ The derivative of $h(x)$ is: $$h'(x)=(x')\tan(2\sqrt x)+x\Big(\tan(2\sqrt x)\Big)'+0$$ $$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)(2\sqrt x)'$$ $$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)(2x^{1/2})$$ $$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)\Big(2\times\frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2}\Big)$$ $$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt x}\Big)$$ $$h'(x)=\tan(2\sqrt x)+\sqrt x\sec^2(2\sqrt x)$$
