If $$g(x)=\frac{2(x)}{(x)+1},g(x+h)=\frac{2(x+h)}{(x+h)+1}$$ So, $$g(x+h)-g(x)=\frac{2(x+h)}{x+h+1}-\frac{2x}{x+1}=\frac{2(x+h)(x+1)-2x(x+h+1)}{(x+h+1)(x+1)}=\frac {2h}{(x+h+1)(x+1)}$$ So, $$\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}h=\frac2{(x+h+1)(x+1)}$$ If you know, $g'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{g(x+h)-g(x)}h,$ $$g'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac2{(x+h+1)(x+1)}=\frac2{(x+1)^2}$$ |
