/ 2\ log\1 - x / ----------- log(5)
log(1 - x^2)/log(5)
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-2*x --------------- / 2\ \1 - x /*log(5)
/ 2 \ | 2*x | -2*|-1 + -------| | 2| \ -1 + x / ----------------- / 2\ \-1 + x /*log(5)
