/x + 9\ log|-----| - 1 \ x /
log((x + 9)/x) - 1
Differentiate term by term:
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
Apply the power rule: goes to
The result is:
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The result of the chain rule is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
