Solution

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = \frac{1}{2}$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sqrt{x}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sqrt{x}\right) = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\sqrt{x}\right) = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}$$$A
