derivative of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + a ^{2}}

- \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the chain rule:

- \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} + a^{2})

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} + a^{2})

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

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \cdot 2 x

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} \cdot 2 x : - \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

= - \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

3 e^{2} x

(4 x^{2} - 7)^{\frac{1}{2}}

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

\frac{d}{d t} (8000 (1.12)^{t})

x^{128} - 15 sin (x)
