log(cos((x - 1)/x))

Detail solution

Let $u = \cos{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)}$ .
The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$ .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \cos{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)}$ :
1. Let $u = \frac{x - 1}{x}$ .
2. The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
  
  $\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$
3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x - 1}{x}$ :
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
    
    $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
    
    $f{\left(x \right)} = x - 1$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x$ .
    
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. Differentiate $x - 1$ term by term:
      1. The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
      2. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
      The result is: $1$
    To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
    1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
    Now plug in to the quotient rule:
    
    $\frac{1}{x^{2}}$
  The result of the chain rule is:
  
  $- \frac{\sin{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)}}{x^{2}}$
The result of the chain rule is:

$- \frac{\sin{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)}}{x^{2} \cos{\left(\frac{x - 1}{x} \right)}}$
Now simplify:

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

The answer is:

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