Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
x*log(x) + -x + 1
$$x \log{\left(x \right)} + \left(1 - x\right)$$
x*log(x) - x + 1
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Apply the product rule:

      ; to find :

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      ; to find :

      1. The derivative of is .

      The result is:

    2. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        So, the result is:

      2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      The result is:

    The result is:
