derivative of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4}

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a} = a^{- 1}

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

\int_{0}^{\infty} 2^{- x} d x

5 x + 6 x^{- 1}

f (x) = x (x - 1) (x - 2)

f (x) = 5^{c o s (2 \frac{π}{2})}

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{2 y}{x + y ^{2}})
