x*(log(x) - 1) --------------*2 x
((x*(log(x) - 1))/x)*2
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Apply the product rule:
; to find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
; to find :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of is .
The result is:
The result is:
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
2*(log(x) - 1) 2*log(x) - -------------- + -------- x x
