x*log(x) - x
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate xlog(x)xx \log{\left(x \right)} - x term by term:

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

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

      The result is: log(x)+1\log{\left(x \right)} + 1

    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: log(x)\log{\left(x \right)}


The answer is:

log(x)\log{\left(x \right)}
