## Step-by-step Solution

Problem to solve:

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x}\right)$

Specify the solving method

1

The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$

$\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
2

Applying the property of exponents, $\displaystyle a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$, where $n$ is a number

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$
