Detail solution

Let $u = x^{2} + x$ .
The derivative of $\log{\left(u \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{u}$ .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(x^{2} + x\right)$ :
1. Differentiate $x^{2} + x$ term by term:
  1. Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
  2. Apply the power rule: $x^{2}$ goes to $2 x$
  The result is: $2 x + 1$
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{2 x + 1}{x^{2} + x}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{2 x + 1}{x \left(x + 1\right)}$

The answer is:

$\frac{2 x + 1}{x \left(x + 1\right)}$
