Solution:
(a)
| Step 1:
|
| Using the Product Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f'(x)=(\sqrt{x})'(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(x^2+2)'.}
|
| Step 2:
|
| Now, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{f'(x)} & = & \displaystyle{(\sqrt{x})'(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(x^2+2)'}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\bigg(\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\bigg)(x^2+2)+\sqrt{x}(2x).} \end{array}}

(b)
| Step 1:
|
| Using the Quotient Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g'(x)=\frac{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)(x+3)'-(x+3)(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)'}{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)^2}.}
|
| Step 2:
|
| Now, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{g'(x)} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)(x+3)'-(x+3)(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)'}{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)^2}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)(1)-(x+3)(\frac{3}{2}x^{\frac{1}{2}})}{(x^{\frac{3}{2}}+2)^2}.} \end{array}}

(c)
| Step 1:
|
| Using the Quotient Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle h'(x)=\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}(e^{-5x^3})'-e^{-5x^3}(\sqrt{x^2+1})'}{(\sqrt{x^2+1})^2}.}
|
| Step 2:
|
| Now, using the Chain Rule, we have
|
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{h'(x)} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}(e^{-5x^3})'-e^{-5x^3}(\sqrt{x^2+1})'}{(\sqrt{x^2+1})^2}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}(e^{-5x^3})(-5x^3)'-e^{-5x^3}\frac{1}{2}(x^2+1)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(x^2+1)'}{(\sqrt{x^2+1})^2}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}(e^{-5x^3})(-15x^2)-e^{-5x^3}\frac{1}{2}(x^2+1)^{\frac{-1}{2}}(2x)}{(\sqrt{x^2+1})^2}.} \end{array}}
