### Educational Exercise: Derivatives

#### Problem Statement

Let \( f(x) = \sqrt{4x^2 + 4x + 6} \)

- Find the derivative \( f'(x) \).
  
- Calculate \( f'(5) \).

#### Instructions

1. **Determine \( f'(x) \):** 
   - Use the chain rule for derivatives.
   - Recall that the derivative of \(\sqrt{u}\) is \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{u}} \times u'\), where \(u\) is the inner function.

2. **Calculate \( f'(5) \):**
   - Substitute \( x = 5 \) into your derived expression for \( f'(x) \).

#### Notes

- Ensure your answer is simplified as much as possible.
- Check your calculations for accuracy.
