Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=xf{\left(x \right)} = x; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

    g(x)=log(x+11x)g{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(\frac{x + 1}{1 - x} \right)}; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Let u=x+11xu = \frac{x + 1}{1 - x}.

    2. The derivative of log(u)\log{\left(u \right)} is 1u\frac{1}{u}.

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddxx+11x\frac{d}{d x} \frac{x + 1}{1 - x}:

      1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

        ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)g2(x)\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}

        f(x)=x+1f{\left(x \right)} = x + 1 and g(x)=1xg{\left(x \right)} = 1 - x.

        To find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

        1. Differentiate x+1x + 1 term by term:

          1. The derivative of the constant 11 is zero.

          2. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

          The result is: 11

        To find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

        1. Differentiate 1x1 - x term by term:

          1. The derivative of the constant 11 is zero.

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

            1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

            So, the result is: 1-1

          The result is: 1-1

        Now plug in to the quotient rule:

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

      The result of the chain rule is:

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

    The result is: 2x(1x)(x+1)+log(x+11x)\frac{2 x}{\left(1 - x\right) \left(x + 1\right)} + \log{\left(\frac{x + 1}{1 - x} \right)}

  2. Now simplify:

    2x+(x1)(x+1)log(x1x1)(x1)(x+1)\frac{- 2 x + \left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right) \log{\left(\frac{- x - 1}{x - 1} \right)}}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}


The answer is:

2x+(x1)(x+1)log(x1x1)(x1)(x+1)\frac{- 2 x + \left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right) \log{\left(\frac{- x - 1}{x - 1} \right)}}{\left(x - 1\right) \left(x + 1\right)}
