$$\frac{4 x}{\left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}}$$

(4*x)/(x^2 - 1)^2

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = 4 x$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  So, the result is: $4$
To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Let $u = x^{2} - 1$ .
2. Apply the power rule: $u^{2}$ goes to $2 u$
3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} - 1\right)$ :
  1. Differentiate $x^{2} - 1$ term by term:
    1. The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
    2. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
    The result is: $2 x$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $2 x \left(2 x^{2} - 2\right)$
Now plug in to the quotient rule:

$\frac{- 8 x^{2} \left(2 x^{2} - 2\right) + 4 \left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{2}}{\left(x^{2} - 1\right)^{4}}$
Now simplify:

$- \frac{12 x^{2} + 4}{x^{6} - 3 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} - 1}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{12 x^{2} + 4}{x^{6} - 3 x^{4} + 3 x^{2} - 1}$
