log(x + 1/(2*x))/log(2)

Detail solution

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

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

The answer is:

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