\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} - 4})

- \frac{8 x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} - 4})

Apply the Quotient Rule:

(\frac{f}{g})^{'} = \frac{f ^{'} \cdot g - g ^{'} \cdot f}{g ^{2}}

= \frac{\frac{d}{d x} ( x ^{2} ) ( x ^{2} - 4 ) - \frac{d}{d x} ( x ^{2} - 4 ) x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}}

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{2}) = 2 x

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} - 4) = 2 x

= \frac{2 x ( x ^{2} - 4 ) - 2 x x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{2 x ( x ^{2} - 4 ) - 2 x x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}} : - \frac{8 x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{8 x}{( x ^{2} - 4 ) ^{2}}
