derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the Quotient Rule:

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

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

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

\frac{d}{d x} (1 + x) = 1

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

Simplify

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

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