We'll apply chain rule to determine the derivative of the
function:
f'(x) =
e^[x/(x-1)]*[x/(x-1)]'
Since we have to differentiate a
fraction, we'll apply quotient rule:
(u/v)' = (u'v -
uv')/v^2
u = x => u' =
1
v = (x-1) => v' =
1
[x/(x-1)]' = [(x-1) -
x]/(x-1)^2
We'll eliminate like
terms:
[x/(x-1)]' =
-1/(x-1)^2
The derivative of the function
is:
f'(x) =
[-1/(x-1)^2]*e^[x/(x-1)]
