Find the Derivative of the function.

Question

Find the derivative of the function.

f(x) =

x2 + 3

x2 − 3

Answer 1

f(x) = x^2 + 3

f'(x) = 2x

f(x) = x^2 -3

f'(x) = 2x

the derivative is the same, no matter what the constant term is, + 3, - 3, or any number

Not sure what the square root sign is about

but

if f(x) = sqrx

then

f'(x) = (1/2)x^-1/2,

or f'(x) = 1/2x^(1/2)

take the exponent and turn it into a coefficient and reduce the exponent by 1
