x  - 2*x

$$\frac{1}{x^{2} - 2 x}$$

1/(x^2 - 2*x)

Detail solution

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

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

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

The answer is:

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