1/((x + 2)^2)
Detail solution
  1. Let u=(x+2)2u = \left(x + 2\right)^{2}.

  2. Apply the power rule: 1u\frac{1}{u} goes to 1u2- \frac{1}{u^{2}}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x+2)2\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + 2\right)^{2}:

    1. Let u=x+2u = x + 2.

    2. Apply the power rule: u2u^{2} goes to 2u2 u

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x+2)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x + 2\right):

      1. Differentiate x+2x + 2 term by term:

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        2. The derivative of the constant 22 is zero.

        The result is: 11

      The result of the chain rule is:

      2x+42 x + 4

    The result of the chain rule is:

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

  4. Now simplify:

    2(x2)3\frac{2}{\left(- x - 2\right)^{3}}


The answer is:

2(x2)3\frac{2}{\left(- x - 2\right)^{3}}
