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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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