Detail solution

  1. Let .

  2. The derivative of is .

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      2. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      The result is:

    The result of the chain rule is:

  4. Now simplify:

The answer is:

The first derivative [src] 
-2 + 2*x
--------
 2      
x  - 2*x
$$\frac{2 x - 2}{x^{2} - 2 x}$$
Simplify
The second derivative [src] 
  /              2\
  |    2*(-1 + x) |
2*|1 - -----------|
  \     x*(-2 + x)/
-------------------
     x*(-2 + x)
$$\frac{2 \left(1 - \frac{2 \left(x - 1\right)^{2}}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right)}{x \left(x - 2\right)}$$
Simplify
The third derivative [src] 
           /               2\
           |     4*(-1 + x) |
4*(-1 + x)*|-3 + -----------|
           \      x*(-2 + x)/
-----------------------------
          2         2        
         x *(-2 + x)
$$\frac{4 \left(-3 + \frac{4 \left(x - 1\right)^{2}}{x \left(x - 2\right)}\right) \left(x - 1\right)}{x^{2} \left(x - 2\right)^{2}}$$
Simplify
