1. **Problem statement:**
Find the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ of the function $$y = \frac{x + 2}{\sqrt{3x + 4}}$$.
2. **Formula and rules:**
We use the quotient rule for derivatives: $$\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{v \frac{du}{dx} - u \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}$$ where $u = x + 2$ and $v = \sqrt{3x + 4} = (3x + 4)^{1/2}$.
3. **Calculate derivatives of numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{du}{dx} = 1$$
$$\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} (3x + 4)^{-1/2} \cdot 3 = \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}}$$
4. **Apply quotient rule:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{3x + 4} \cdot 1 - (x + 2) \cdot \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}}}{(\sqrt{3x + 4})^2}$$
5. **Simplify denominator:**
$$(\sqrt{3x + 4})^2 = 3x + 4$$
6. **Rewrite numerator with common denominator:**
$$\frac{2(3x + 4)}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}} - \frac{3(x + 2)}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}} = \frac{2(3x + 4) - 3(x + 2)}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}}$$
7. **Simplify numerator expression:**
$$2(3x + 4) - 3(x + 2) = 6x + 8 - 3x - 6 = 3x + 2$$
8. **So numerator is:**
$$\frac{3x + 2}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}}$$
9. **Putting it all together:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{3x + 2}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4}}}{3x + 4} = \frac{3x + 2}{2 \sqrt{3x + 4} (3x + 4)}$$
10. **Final derivative:**
$$\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x + 2}{2 (3x + 4)^{3/2}}}$$
