\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{2}}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}})

- \frac{2 x}{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{2}}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}})

Apply the Quotient Rule:

(\frac{f}{g})^{'} = \frac{f ^{'} \cdot g - g ^{'} \cdot f}{g ^{2}}

= \frac{\frac{d}{d x} ( x ^{2} ) ( x - 1 ) ^{2} - \frac{d}{d x} ( ( x - 1 ) ^{2} ) x ^{2}}{( ( x - 1 ) ^{2} ) ^{2}}

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{2}) = 2 x

\frac{d}{d x} ((x - 1)^{2}) = 2 (x - 1)

= \frac{2 x ( x - 1 ) ^{2} - 2 ( x - 1 ) x ^{2}}{( ( x - 1 ) ^{2} ) ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{2 x ( x - 1 ) ^{2} - 2 ( x - 1 ) x ^{2}}{( ( x - 1 ) ^{2} ) ^{2}} : - \frac{2 x}{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}

= - \frac{2 x}{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}
