derivative of

f (x) = x^{2} + 4

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 4} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} + 4)

= \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 4} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} + 4)

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

= \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 4} \cdot 2 x

Simplify

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 4} \cdot 2 x : \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4}

= \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4}
