Answer

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{cos x}{2 \sqrt {sinx}}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{dy}{du} = \frac{d(\sqrt u)}{du} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt u}$ and, $\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d(sin x)}{dx} = cos x$ So, $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du}*\frac{du}{dx}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{cos x}{2 \sqrt {u}}$ $\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{cos x}{2 \sqrt {sinx}}$
