If f(x)=e2x+1f(x)=\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}, then f(x)=f'(x)=

A.12e2x+1\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}}
B.e2xe2x+1\dfrac{e^{2x}}{\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}}
C.2e2xe2x+1\dfrac{2e^{2x}}{\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}}
D.e2x2e2x+1\dfrac{e^{2x}}{2\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}}

Explanation

Core Concept

The power rule gives 12(e2x+1)1/2\frac{1}{2}(e^{2x}+1)^{-1/2}, and the inner derivative of e2x+1e^{2x}+1 is 2e2x2e^{2x}. Multiplying gives e2x(e2x+1)1/2e^{2x}(e^{2x}+1)^{-1/2}.

Correct Answer

Be2xe2x+1\dfrac{e^{2x}}{\sqrt{e^{2x}+1}}
