What is the derivative of 1 over X square plus 2 with respect to X using the first principle?
I'm not sure if you're asking what the derivative is for f(x) = 1/[(x^2)+2] or for f(x) = [1/(x^2)]+2 so I'm gonna do the first one for now. Lemme know if you want the other one too! :)
**Note: I'm not sure which terminology you're most familiar with using in class but just know that y is the same thing as/another way or writing y(x) or f(x) on the left side of the equation. Similarly, y' = y'(x) = f'(x) = d/dx(y) = dy/dx = d/dx[y(x)] = d/dx[f(x)].**
So we know the First Principles from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus defines the derivative as a limit:
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠[f(x+h)-f(x)]/h
Our function is:
f(x) = 1/[(x^2)+2]
Similarly:
f(x+h) = 1/[((x+h)^2)+2]
Simplify:
f(x+h) = 1/[(x+h)(x+h)+2]
f(x+h) = 1/[(x^2+2xh+h^2+2]
Then we plug it into the limit and simplify:
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[1/(((x+h)^2)+2)] - [1/((x^2)+2))]〗/h
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[1/(((x+h)^2)+2)] - [1/((x^2)+2))]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[1/(((x+h)^2)+2)]*[(x^2)+2]/[(x^2)+2]
- [1/((x^2)+2))]*[((x+h)^2)+2]/[((x+h)^2)+2]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[[(x^2)+2]-[((x+h)^2)+2]]/[[(x^2)+2]*[((x+h)^2)+2]]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[[(x^2)+2]-[(x^2+2xh+h^2)+2]]/[[(x^2)+2]*[((x^2+2xh+h^2)+2]]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[(x^2)+2-(x^2)-2xh-(h^2)-2]/[[(x^2)+2]*[((x^2+2xh+h^2)+2]]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[(x^2)+2-(x^2)-2xh-(h^2)-2]/[(x^4)+2(x^3)h+(x^2)(h^2)+2(x^2)+2(x^2)+4xh+2(h^2)+4]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠〖[-2xh-(h^2)]/[(x^4)+2(x^3)h+(x^2)(h^2)+4(x^2)+4xh+2(h^2)+4]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠(2h)〖(-x-h)/[(x^4)+2(x^3)h+(x^2)(h^2)+4(x^2)+4xh+2(h^2)+4]〗*(1/h)
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠(2)〖(-x-h)/[(x^4)+2(x^3)h+(x^2)(h^2)+4(x^2)+4xh+2(h^2)+4]〗
Finally, plug in 0 for h:
f'(x) = lim(h→0)⡠(2)〖(-x-(0))/[(x^4)+2(x^3)(0)+(x^2)((0)^2)+4(x^2)+4x(0)+2((0)^2)+4]〗 f'(x) = (2)[-x/[(x^4)+4(x^2)+4]
Factor the denominator:
f'(x) = (2)[-x/[(x^2)+2)^2]
Final answer: f'(x) = -2x/[((x^2)+2)^2]
Hope this helped!! ~Casey

What is the scientific meaning of acceleration?
Definition: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity as a function of time. It is vector. In calculus terms, acceleration is the second derivative of position with respect to time or, alternately, the first derivative of the velocity with respect to time.
What are derivatives for displaces?
Derivatives for displacement refer to the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time. It can be calculated by finding the first derivative of the position function. The first derivative of displacement gives the object's velocity, while the second derivative gives the acceleration.
Relate distance velocity acceleration using derivatives with respect to time?
I'm not sure about the respect to time, but the equation for velocity is the first derivative of the equation of time (w/ respect to distance) and acceleration is the second derivative. I'm sorry, I don't think I properly answered your question, but this information should be correct. . :)
How do you get the second derivative of potential energy?
To get the second derivative of potential energy, you first need to calculate the first derivative of potential energy with respect to the variable of interest. Then, you calculate the derivative of this expression. This second derivative gives you the rate of change of the slope of the potential energy curve, providing insight into the curvature of the potential energy surface.
How do you find second derivative of a function?
All it means to take the second derivative is to take the derivative of a function twice. For example, say you start with the function y=x2+2x The first derivative would be 2x+2 But when you take the derivative the first derivative you get the second derivative which would be 2
