Find the Derivative - d/dx 1/(x^2+3)

Problem

d()/d(x)1/(x2+3)

Solution

1. Identify the function as a reciprocal or a composition of functions, which can be solved using the power rule combined with the chain rule by rewriting the expression.

2. Rewrite the expression using a negative exponent to prepare for differentiation.

1/(x2+3)=(x2+3)(−1)

3. Apply the power rule by bringing the exponent down and subtracting one from the exponent.

d(x2+3)/d(x)=−1*(x2+3)(−2)⋅d(x2+3)/d(x)

4. Apply the chain rule by multiplying by the derivative of the inner function x2+3

d(x2+3)/d(x)=2*x

5. Substitute the inner derivative back into the expression.

−1*(x2+3)(−2)⋅2*x

6. Simplify the expression by moving the term with the negative exponent back to the denominator.

(−2*x)/((x2+3)2)

Final Answer

d()/d(x)1/(x2+3)=−(2*x)/((x2+3)2)
