.

f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{2x+7}

take derivative

f'\left(x\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{2x+7}\right)

f'\left(x\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\left(2x+7\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)

f'\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(2x+7\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\frac{d}{dx}\left(2x+7\right)

f'\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(2x+7\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(2+0\right)

f'\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(2x+7\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}2

f'\left(x\right)=\left(2x+7\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}

f'\left(x\right)={\color{Red} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2x+7}}}
