- $ \frac{6x+2}{2\sqrt{3x^2+2x+1}} $
- $ \frac{3x+1}{\sqrt{3x^2+2x+1}} $
- $ \frac{6x+1}{2\sqrt{3x^2+2x+1}} $
- $ \frac{6x-2}{2\sqrt{3x^2+2x+1}} $

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Rewrite function:
$$
f(x) = (3x^2 + 2x + 1)^{1/2}
$$
Apply chain rule: $$ f'(x) = \frac{1}{2}(3x^2 + 2x + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot (6x + 2) $$
Simplify: $$ f'(x) = \frac{6x + 2}{2\sqrt{3x^2 + 2x + 1}} $$
Apply chain rule: $$ f'(x) = \frac{1}{2}(3x^2 + 2x + 1)^{-1/2} \cdot (6x + 2) $$
Simplify: $$ f'(x) = \frac{6x + 2}{2\sqrt{3x^2 + 2x + 1}} $$
