2x3+ √(x) + (x2 + 2x) / x2

Put y = 2x3+ √(x) + (x2 + 2x) / x2

Diferentiate each side with respective x

dy/dx = d/dx [2x3+√(x) + (x3+ 2x) / x2]

The derivative formulas

d/dx (xn) = n(xn-1) and d /dx[√(x)] = 1 / 2√(x)

dy/dx = d/dx [2x3] + d/dx[√(x)] + d /dx[(x2 + 2x) / x2]

[x2 + 2x) / x2] = x2 / x2 + 2x / x2

[x2 + 2x) / x2] = 1+ 2 / x

dy/dx = 2(3x2) + 1 / 2√(x) +d/dx(1+ 2 / x)

d / dx(1+ 2 / x) = 0 + 2(-1 / x2) (Using derivative formula)

dy/dx = 6x2 + 1 / 2√(x) + (0 + 2(-1 / x2)

dy/dx = 6x^2 + 1 / 2√(x) +(-2 / x^2)

dy/dx = 6x^2 + 1 / 2√(x) - 2 / x2
