Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
So, the result is:
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
x -2 *log(2) ----------- x 1 - 2
/ x \ x 2 | 2 | 2 *log (2)*|1 - -------| | x| \ -1 + 2 / ------------------------ x -1 + 2
/ x 2*x \ x 3 | 3*2 2*2 | 2 *log (2)*|1 - ------- + ----------| | x 2| | -1 + 2 / x\ | \ \-1 + 2 / / ------------------------------------- x -1 + 2
