Answer

$\frac{xe^x(x^3+2e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{d}{dx}\frac{x^2e^x}{x^2+e^x}$ $=\frac{(x^2+e^x)\frac{d}{dx}x^2e^x-x^2e^x\frac{d}{dx}(x^2+e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{(x^2+e^x)(x^2\frac{d}{dx}e^x+e^x\frac{d}{dx}x^2)-x^2e^x(2x+e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{(x^2+e^x)(x^2e^x+e^x*2x)-x^2e^x(2x+e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{xe^x(x^2+e^x)(x+2)-xe^x*x(2x+e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{xe^x[(x^3+2x^2+xe^x+2e^x)-(2x^2+xe^x)]}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{xe^x[x^3+2x^2+xe^x+2e^x-2x^2-xe^x]}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$ $=\frac{xe^x(x^3+2e^x)}{(x^2+e^x)^2}$
