Answer

$$ f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{dx} \left[ f(x) \right] = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \tanh \sqrt{x}\right]=\frac{\operatorname{sech}^{2} \sqrt{x}}{2 \sqrt{x}} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ f(x)=\tanh \sqrt{x} $$ Differentiating both sides of this equation we have $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{d}{dx} \left[ f(x) \right] &= \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \tanh \sqrt{x}\right] \\ f^{\prime}(x) &=\operatorname{sech}^{2} \sqrt{x} \frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{x} \\ &=\operatorname{sech}^{2} \sqrt{x}\left(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\right) \\ &=\frac{\operatorname{sech}^{2} \sqrt{x}}{2 \sqrt{x}} \end{aligned} $$
