What is the derivative of arctan(x)^(1/2)arctan(x)12? Calculus Differentiating Trigonometric Functions Differentiating Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Michael Sep 3, 2015 f'(x)=(1)/(2sqrt(x)(1+x) Explanation: f(x)=arctan(x^(1/2)) Using the chain rule: f'(x)=(1)/(1+x)xx1/2x^(-1/2) f'(x)=(x^(-1/2))/(2(1+x)) f'(x)=(1)/(2sqrt(x)(1+x) Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=sin^-1(x) ?
