Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      2. 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:

      The result is:

    To find :

    1. Differentiate term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant is zero.

      2. Apply the power rule: goes to

      The result is:

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

-2 + 2*x   x  - 2*x
-------- - --------
 x - 1            2
           (x - 1) 
$$\frac{2 x - 2}{x - 1} - \frac{x^{2} - 2 x}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
  /     x*(-2 + x)\
2*|-1 + ----------|
  |             2 |
  \     (-1 + x)  /

       -1 + x      
$$\frac{2 \left(\frac{x \left(x - 2\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}} - 1\right)}{x - 1}$$
The third derivative [src]
  /    x*(-2 + x)\
6*|1 - ----------|

  \    (-1 + x)  /
------------------
            2     
    (-1 + x)      
$$\frac{6 \left(- \frac{x \left(x - 2\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}} + 1\right)}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}}$$
