Step 1.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{5 x + 3}$ as ${(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [3 x^{2} {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}]$

Step 1.2

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $3 x^{2} {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ with respect to $x$ is $3 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2} {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}]$ .

$3 \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2} {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}]$

Step 2

Differentiate using the Product Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (x) g (x)]$ is $f (x) \frac{d}{d x} [g (x)] + g (x) \frac{d}{d x} [f (x)]$ where $f (x) = x^{2}$ and $g (x) = {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$3 (x^{2} \frac{d}{d x} [{(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}}] + {(5 x + 3)}^{\frac{1}{2}} \frac{d}{d x} [x^{2}])$

Step 3

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $g (x) = 5 x + 3$ .

Step 3.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $5 x + 3$ .
