x + 2

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

(x^2 - 1)/(x + 2)

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

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

$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{2} - 1$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x + 2$ .

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

$\frac{- x^{2} + 2 x \left(x + 2\right) + 1}{\left(x + 2\right)^{2}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{- x^{2} + 2 x \left(x + 2\right) + 1}{\left(x + 2\right)^{2}}$
