Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
1 1 - x - ----- - -------- x + 2 2 (x + 2)
/ -1 + x\ 2*|1 - ------| \ 2 + x / -------------- 2 (2 + x)
