Detail solution

The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
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:
  
  $\frac{2 \log{\left(x \right)}}{x}$
So, the result is: $- \frac{2 \log{\left(x \right)}}{x}$

The answer is:

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