what is the derivative of the square root of x under the square root of x, all under a third square root
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If I read you correctly you have
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = sqrt[sqrt[(x)sqrt(x)]]
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = sqrt[sqrt[x^(3/2)]]
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = sqrt[x^(3/4)]
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = x^(3/8)
\n" ); document.write( "f'(x) = (3/8)x^(-5/8)
