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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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