Question

 If f(x)=1x2+x, then find f(x)\text { If } f(x)=\frac{1-x}{2+x} \text {, then find } f^{\prime}(x) \text {. }​​

A.

1(2+x)2\frac{1}{(2+x)^2}​​

B.

3(2+x)2\frac{-3}{(2+x)^2}​​

C.

2(3+x)2\frac{2}{(3+x)^2}​​

D.

1(x2)2\frac{1}{(x-2)^2}​​

Correct option is B

The Quotient Rule states that if you have a function uv, its derivative is:ddx(uv)=vdudxudvdxv2Step-by-Step Solution:1.Identify u and v:u=1xv=2+x2.Compute dudx and dvdx:dudx=ddx(1x)=1dvdx=ddx(2+x)=13.Apply the Quotient Rule:f(x)=(2+x)(1)(1x)(1)(2+x)24.Simplify the numerator:f(x)=2x1+x(2+x)2=3(2+x)2\begin{aligned}&\text{The Quotient Rule states that if you have a function } \frac{u}{v}, \text{ its derivative is:} \\&\quad \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{v \cdot \frac{du}{dx} - u \cdot \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2} \\[10pt]&\textbf{Step-by-Step Solution:} \\[5pt]&1. \text{Identify } u \text{ and } v: \\&\quad u = 1 - x \\&\quad v = 2 + x \\[5pt]&2. \text{Compute } \frac{du}{dx} \text{ and } \frac{dv}{dx}: \\&\quad \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(1 - x) = -1 \\&\quad \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(2 + x) = 1 \\[5pt]&3. \text{Apply the Quotient Rule:} \\&\quad f'(x) = \frac{(2 + x)(-1) - (1 - x)(1)}{(2 + x)^2} \\[5pt]&4. \text{Simplify the numerator:} \\&\quad f'(x) = \frac{-2 - x - 1 + x}{(2 + x)^2} = \frac{-3}{(2 + x)^2}\end{aligned}​​
