The key here is the quotient rule: when you have a fraction of two functions, the derivative is $\frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$. Identify your numerator $u$ and denominator $v$, find each of their derivatives, plug into the formula, then evaluate at $x=2$. This is a straightforward application—just careful algebra.
