derivative of x/((x-1))

Solution

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x}{( x - 1 )})

Solution

- \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x}{( x - 1 )})

Apply the Quotient Rule:

(\frac{f}{g})^{'} = \frac{f ^{'} \cdot g - g ^{'} \cdot f}{g ^{2}}

= \frac{\frac{d x}{d x} ( x - 1 ) - \frac{d}{d x} ( x - 1 ) x}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}

\frac{d x}{d x} = 1

\frac{d}{d x} (x - 1) = 1

= \frac{1 \cdot ( x - 1 ) - 1 \cdot x}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1 \cdot ( x - 1 ) - 1 \cdot x}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}} : - \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}
