$$\frac{x^{2} - 4}{x}$$

(x^2 - 4)/x

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{2} - 4$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Differentiate $x^{2} - 4$ term by term:
  1. The derivative of the constant $-4$ is zero.
  2. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
  The result is: $2 x$
To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
Now plug in to the quotient rule:

$\frac{x^{2} + 4}{x^{2}}$
Now simplify:

$1 + \frac{4}{x^{2}}$

The answer is:

$1 + \frac{4}{x^{2}}$
