derivative of

ln (4 - x^{2})

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{4 - x ^{2}} (- 2 x) : - \frac{2 x}{4 - x ^{2}}

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