 log (x)

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

(log(x) - 1)/log(x)^2

Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)} - 1$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}$ .

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

$\frac{- \frac{2 \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right) \log{\left(x \right)}}{x} + \frac{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}{x}}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{4}}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{2 - \log{\left(x \right)}}{x \log{\left(x \right)}^{3}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{2 - \log{\left(x \right)}}{x \log{\left(x \right)}^{3}}$
