derivative of

\frac{1}{x + 1}

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

\int x (x^{2} - 1)^{7} d x

\int 5 x (x^{4} - \frac{1}{5}) d x

\int_{2}^{4} \frac{( x + y )}{55} d y

f (x) = 12 x + x

\frac{d}{d x} (sin^{2} (2 x) cos^{3} (3 x))
