How do you find the derivative of #y =sqrt(x-1)#?
The Power Rule and the Chain Rule must be applied to this problem.
First, we take the radical (square root) and transform it into its exponential form.
Use the Chain Rule.
Change the exponents from negative to positive.
Convert the radical form of a positive exponent.
