Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:

The result is:
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
1 x + 2
----- - --------
x + 3 2
(x + 3)
/ 2 + x\
2*|-1 + -----|
\ 3 + x/
--------------
2
(3 + x)
/ 2 + x\
6*|1 - -----|
\ 3 + x/
-------------
3
(3 + x)
