Detail solution

Differentiate $\frac{x}{- x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1} + \cot{\left(x \right)}$ term by term:
1. There are multiple ways to do this derivative.
  Method #1
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\cot{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{\tan{\left(x \right)}}$
  2. Let $u = \tan{\left(x \right)}$ .
  3. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
  4. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
      
      $\tan{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos{\left(x \right)}}$
    2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
      
      $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
      
      To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
      
      The derivative of sine is cosine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
      
      To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
      
      The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
      
      Now plug in to the quotient rule:
      
      $\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
    The result of the chain rule is:
    
    $- \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  Method #2
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\cot{\left(x \right)} = \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(x \right)}}$
  2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
    
    $f{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ .
    
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(x \right)} = - \sin{\left(x \right)}$
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. The derivative of sine is cosine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \sin{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(x \right)}$
    Now plug in to the quotient rule:
    
    $\frac{- \sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} - \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
  
  $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
  
  $f{\left(x \right)} = x$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = - x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1$ .
  
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
  1. Differentiate $- x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1$ term by term:
    1. The derivative of the constant $1$ is zero.
    2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      1. Apply the product rule:
        
        $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$
        
        $f{\left(x \right)} = x$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
        
        Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
        
        $g{\left(x \right)} = \cot{\left(x \right)}$ ; to find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
        
        $\frac{d}{d x} \cot{\left(x \right)} = - \frac{1}{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
        
        The result is: $- \frac{x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \cot{\left(x \right)}$
      So, the result is: $\frac{x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} - \cot{\left(x \right)}$
    The result is: $\frac{x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} - \cot{\left(x \right)}$
  Now plug in to the quotient rule:
  
  $\frac{- x \left(\frac{x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} - \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) - x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1}{\left(- x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)^{2}}$
The result is: $- \frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{- x \left(\frac{x \left(\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} + \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}\right)}{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} \tan^{2}{\left(x \right)}} - \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) - x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1}{\left(- x \cot{\left(x \right)} + 1\right)^{2}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{- \frac{x^{2}}{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{2 x}{\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}} - 1}{\left(x - \tan{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{- \frac{x^{2}}{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)} \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}} + \frac{2 x}{\sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)}} - 1}{\left(x - \tan{\left(x \right)}\right)^{2}}$
