This is what my math programme says @_@. Anyone feels like shortening it XD? I'm glad that I'm done with those, i never found any use for them xD....

I get 315/(32 x^(9/2))+1440x

Wolfram Alpha got this: d^6/dx^6(2 x^6+3 sqrt(x)) = 1440-2835/(64 x^(11/2))

That's the 6th derivative.

Hmm, guess I read sixth by accident. In that case, senrath's answer is correct.

That is true. Though in my projects i rarely found any use for functions higher than x^2 .

If you put a little thought into it as to what it should actually look like, you would see that x^(7/2) wouldn't work out correctly. If you have x^(1/2) as your function, to take the derivative you obviously subtract 1 from the exponent each derivative. Considering that 1/2 - 1 = 1/2 - 2/2, you should be able to see that (2/2)*5 (5th derivate) = 10/2, so you could easily know that you have to end with an exponent on the x of 1/2 - 10/2 = -9/2, or 1/(x^(9/2)).

Just a little thinking.

yeah. I there is kind of a pattern now, after doing checking and rechecking for like 3 hours -_- (My TI even graphed it wrong).

12x^5 + 1.5 x ^-1/2 (1st)
60 x^4 - .75 x^-1.5 (2nd)
240 x^3 + 1.125 x^-2.5 (3rd)
720 x^2 - 2.8125 x^-3.5 (4th)
1400 x + 9.84375 x ^ 4.5 (5th)

which is 1400x + 9.84375/SQRT(x^9)

so senrath is correct
