Learn how to find the derivative of (x+1)/(x+2). The derivative is d/dx[(x+1)/(x+2)].
Below is the graph of f(x) = (x+1)/(x+2) and its derivative f'(x). Notice how the original function and derivative relate to each other.
Original Function:
Derivative:
This derivative represents the rate of change of the original function. The calculation follows standard differentiation rules as shown in the step-by-step solution below.
Analyze the structure of (x+1)/(x+2) to determine which differentiation rules apply.
💡 Why this works: The function (x+1)/(x+2) requires Quotient Rule based on its mathematical structure.
Apply Quotient Rule to find the derivative components.
💡 Why this works: Following the rules systematically leads to d/dx[(x+1)/(x+2)].
Combine and simplify to get the final derivative d/dx[(x+1)/(x+2)].
💡 Why this works: Simplification ensures the derivative is in its most useful form.
