Math Problem Statement

Find the derivative of the function y = √(-6 + 5x).

Solution

The derivative of the function y=6+5xy = \sqrt{-6 + 5x} is:

dydx=525x6\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5x - 6}}

Would you like further details on how this was derived or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the derivative of x\sqrt{x} with respect to xx?
  2. How do you apply the chain rule to composite functions?
  3. Can you find the second derivative of y=6+5xy = \sqrt{-6 + 5x}?
  4. How does the derivative of a square root function change as the value of xx changes?
  5. What happens to the derivative if the constant inside the square root is positive instead of negative?

Tip: When differentiating composite functions involving square roots, applying the chain rule simplifies the process significantly.
