Find a point on the curve y=(√x)  where the tangent makes an angle   45° with the positive x-axis

(dy/dx) = tan(θ(x)) = (1/(2(√x)))  If θ(x) = 45°, (1/(2(√x))) = 1 ⇒ x = (1/4)
$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\:=\:\mathrm{tan}\left(\theta\left({x}\right)\right)\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{x}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{If}\:\theta\left({x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{45}°,\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{x}}}\:=\:\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
