log((x + 2)/(-x + 2))

Detail solution

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

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

$- \frac{4}{x^{2} - 4}$

The answer is:

$- \frac{4}{x^{2} - 4}$
