$derivdef\left(\frac{4-x^2}{2+x}\right)$
Learn how to solve definition of derivative problems step by step online. Find the derivative of (2^2-x^2)/(2+x) using the definition. Calculate the power 2^2. The difference of the squares of two terms, divided by the sum of the same terms, is equal to the difference of the terms. In other words: \displaystyle\frac{a^2-b^2}{a+b}=a-b.. Find the derivative of 2-x using the definition. Apply the definition of the derivative: \displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}. The function f(x) is the function we want to differentiate, which is 2-x. Substituting f(x+h) and f(x) on the limit, we get. Multiply the single term -1 by each term of the polynomial \left(x+h\right).
