Differentiate the following w.r.t.x: log open parentheses square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root close parentheses

Solution
Let space straight y equals log open parentheses square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root close parentheses
therefore dy over dx equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction cross times straight d over dx open parentheses square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root close parentheses
space space space space space space space space space space space space equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction cross times open square brackets fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of straight x minus straight a end root end fraction plus fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction close square brackets
open square brackets because space straight d over dx left parenthesis square root of straight x minus straight a end root right parenthesis equals straight d over dx left parenthesis straight x minus straight a right parenthesis to the power of begin inline style 1 half end style end exponent equals 1 half left parenthesis straight x minus straight a right parenthesis to the power of begin inline style negative 1 half end style end exponent straight d over dx left parenthesis straight x minus straight a right parenthesis equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of straight x minus straight a end root end fraction cross times 1 equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of straight x minus straight a end root end fraction close square brackets
space space space space space space space space space space space space equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction cross times fraction numerator square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root over denominator 2 square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction equals fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of straight x minus straight a end root plus square root of straight x minus straight b end root end fraction.
