Given function is
$f(x)=\frac{\cos ^{-1}x/2}{\sqrt {2x+7}} , -2 < x < 2$
Now, differentiation w.r.t. x is
By using the Quotient rule
$f^{'}(x)=\frac{d(f(x))}{dx}=\frac{d(\frac{\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}}{\sqrt{2x+7}})}{dx}=\frac{\frac{d(\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2})}{dx}.\sqrt{2x+7}-\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}.\frac{d(\sqrt{2x+7})}{dx}}{(\sqrt{2x+7})^2}\\ f^{'}(x) = \frac{\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{x}{2})^2}}.\frac{1}{2}.\sqrt{2x+7}-\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}.\frac{1}{2.\sqrt{2x+7}}.2}{2x+7}\\ f^{'}(x)= -\left [\frac{1}{(\sqrt{4-x^2})(\sqrt{2x+7})}+\frac{\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}}{(2x+7)^\frac{3}{2}} \right ]$

Therefore, differentiation w.r.t. x is   $-\left [\frac{1}{(\sqrt{4-x^2})(\sqrt{2x+7})}+\frac{\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}}{(2x+7)^\frac{3}{2}} \right ]$
