___ \/ x *(-4) ---------- x + 2
(sqrt(x)*(-4))/(x + 2)
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
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:
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:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
___
2 4*\/ x
- ------------- + --------
___ 2
\/ x *(x + 2) (x + 2)
___
1 8*\/ x 4
---- - -------- + -------------
3/2 2 ___
x (2 + x) \/ x *(2 + x)
-------------------------------
2 + x
/ ___ \
| 1 1 4 8*\/ x |
3*|- ------ - ------------ - -------------- + --------|
| 5/2 3/2 ___ 2 3|
\ 2*x x *(2 + x) \/ x *(2 + x) (2 + x) /
-------------------------------------------------------
2 + x
