x/(x + 2)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    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:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
  1        x    
----- - --------
x + 2          2
        (x + 2) 
$$- \frac{x}{\left(x + 2\right)^{2}} + \frac{1}{x + 2}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /       x  \
2*|-1 + -----|
  \     2 + x/
--------------
          2   
   (2 + x)    
$$\frac{2 \left(\frac{x}{x + 2} - 1\right)}{\left(x + 2\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /      x  \
6*|1 - -----|
  \    2 + x/
-------------
          3  
   (2 + x)   
$$\frac{6 \left(- \frac{x}{x + 2} + 1\right)}{\left(x + 2\right)^{3}}$$
