Afgeleide van $$$\frac{1}{1 - x}$$$

De functie $$$\frac{1}{1 - x}$$$ is de samenstelling $$$f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}$$$ van twee functies $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \frac{1}{u}$$$ en $$$g{\left(x \right)} = 1 - x$$$.

Pas de kettingregel $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(f{\left(g{\left(x \right)} \right)}\right) = \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(g{\left(x \right)}\right)$$$ toe:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{1 - x}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\frac{1}{u}\right) \frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right)\right)}$$

Pas de machtsregel $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{n}\right) = n u^{n - 1}$$$ toe met $$$n = -1$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(\frac{1}{u}\right)\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right) = {\color{red}\left(- \frac{1}{u^{2}}\right)} \frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right)$$

Keer terug naar de oorspronkelijke variabele:

$$- \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right)}{{\color{red}\left(u\right)}^{2}} = - \frac{\frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right)}{{\color{red}\left(1 - x\right)}^{2}}$$

De afgeleide van een som/verschil is de som/het verschil van de afgeleiden:

$$- \frac{{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(1 - x\right)\right)}}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}} = - \frac{{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(1\right) - \frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)\right)}}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}}$$

De afgeleide van een constante is $$$0$$$:

$$- \frac{{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(1\right)\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}} = - \frac{{\color{red}\left(0\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}}$$

Pas de machtsregel $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ toe met $$$n = 1$$$, met andere woorden, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right) = 1$$$:

$$\frac{{\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x\right)\right)}}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}} = \frac{{\color{red}\left(1\right)}}{\left(1 - x\right)^{2}}$$

Vereenvoudig:

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

Dus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{1}{1 - x}\right) = \frac{1}{\left(x - 1\right)^{2}}$$$.
