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

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

Solution steps

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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