$$\frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{x^{2} + 4}$$
cos(x)/(x^2 + 4)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:
