We have to differentiate y = [1 - (1/x)] /
(x-1)
Now we can start with rewriting the expression for y
= [1 - (1/x)] / (x-1) so that it is easier to
differentiate
Start with writing 1-(1/x) as
(x-1)/x
=> y = [(x-1) /x] /
(x-1)
Now divide by numerator and denominator by
(x-1)
=> y = 1/ x
Now
the derivative of 1/x = x^-1 is -1*[x^ (-1-1)] = -1*x^-2 = -1/
x^2
So as y= [1 - (1/x)] /
(x-1)
=> y' = -1/
x^2
The required derivative is -1/
x^2
