the 2 in the denominator, I used the quotient rule and then multiplied the fraction by x to the 1/2, which allowed me to do some factorizing to cancel out the denominator. However, I am left with simply a square root 2 at the bottom, and I'm not quite sure where that 2 comes from. I'm starting to suspect the question might be wrong in itself.

$\begingroup$ BTW the fraction equals $\sqrt{x}-2$, whose derivative is the right-hand side. So there is no mistake in the displayed formula. $\endgroup$– GH from MOCommented 6 hours ago
