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:
x*x - 3 2*x
- -------- + -----
2 x + 2
(x + 2)
/ 2 \
| -3 + x 2*x |
2*|1 + -------- - -----|
| 2 2 + x|
\ (2 + x) /
------------------------
2 + x
