Differentiation Question 255

Question: If $ y={e^{\sqrt{x}}} $ , then $ \frac{dy}{dx} $ equals

[SCRA 1996]

Options:

A) $ \frac{{e^{\sqrt{x}}}}{2\sqrt{x}} $

B) $ \frac{\sqrt{x}}{{e^{\sqrt{x}}}} $

C) $ \frac{x}{{e^{\sqrt{x}}}} $

D) $ \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{{e^{\sqrt{x}}}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ y={e^{\sqrt{x}}} $

Therefore $ \frac{dy}{dx}={e^{\sqrt{x}}}.\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{x} $

Therefore $ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{{e^{\sqrt{x}}}}{2\sqrt{x}} $ .
