(x - 1)

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

1/((x - 1)^2)

Detail solution

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

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

$\frac{2}{\left(1 - x\right)^{3}}$

The answer is:

$\frac{2}{\left(1 - x\right)^{3}}$
