If y = (x – 1)log (x – 1) – (x + 1) log (x +1), prove that
.
Given y = (x – 1)log(x – 1) – (x + 1)log(x + 1)
On differentiating y with respect to x, we get
![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall that (uv)’ = vu’ + uv’ (product rule)


We know
and
.
Also, the derivative of a constant is 0.

![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, ![]()
