derivative of

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

\frac{cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{- 2}{x}

y = (x + 1)^{2} (x^{2} + 2 x)

\frac{tan ( x )}{2}

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