Answer

$y' = \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{x}+2x}$

Work Step by Step

In order to derivate this function you have to apply the chain rule Let's make an «u» substitution to make it easier $f(u) = \ln(u)$ $u = 2+\sqrt{x}$ Derivate the function: $f'(u) = \dfrac{1}{u} \times u'$ Now let's find u' $u' = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$ Then undo the substitution: $f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{2+\sqrt{x}} \times \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$ Simplify and get the answer: $y' = \dfrac{1}{4\sqrt{x}+2x}$
