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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply the chain rule:

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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