To differentiate 2x2\sqrt{x} with respect to xx:

  1. Rewrite the function using exponent notation.

    y=2x=2x12y = 2\sqrt{x} = 2x^{\frac{1}{2}}
  2. Apply the power rule for differentiation, which states that ddx(axn)=anxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}.

    dydx=2×12x12−1\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1}
  3. Simplify the expression.

    dydx=1×x−12\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 \times x^{-\frac{1}{2}} dydx=x−12\frac{dy}{dx} = x^{-\frac{1}{2}}
  4. Express the result with a positive exponent and in radical form.

    dydx=1x12=1x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}

    The derivative of 2x2\sqrt{x} with respect to xx is 1x\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}}.
