Find the derivatives of the following functions. Do not simplify.

a)
b) where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x>0}
c) Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle h(x)=\frac{e^{-5x^3}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}


Foundations:  
1. Product Rule
2. Quotient Rule
3. Chain Rule

Solution:

(a)

Step 1:  
Using the Product Rule, we have
        Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f'(x)=(\sqrt{x})'(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(x^2+2)'.}
Step 2:  
Now, we have
        Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{f'(x)} & = & \displaystyle{(\sqrt{x})'(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(x^2+2)'}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\bigg)(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(2x).} \end{array}}

(b)

Step 1:  
Step 2:  

(c)

Step 1:  
Step 2:  
Final Answer:  
    (a)     Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \bigg(\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\bigg)(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(2x)}
