Click For Summary
The derivative of the function y = (1 + ln(t)) / (1 - ln(t)) is calculated using the quotient rule. The derivatives of the numerator and denominator are f' = 1/t and g' = 1/t, respectively. Applying the quotient rule results in y' = 2 / (t(ln(t) - 1)^2). The calculation is confirmed to be correct, with one user expressing satisfaction with the result. Overall, the discussion focuses on verifying the derivative and ensuring accuracy before finalizing the work.

$\textsf{Find the derivative}\\$
\begin{align}
\displaystyle
y&=\frac{1+\ln{(t)}}{1-\ln{(t)}}
=-\frac{1+\ln(t)}{\ln(t)-1}=\frac{f}{g}\\
f&=1+\ln(t) \therefore f'=\frac{1}{t}\\
g&=\ln(t)-1 \therefore g'=\frac{1}{t}\\
y'&= \frac{f\cdot g' - f'\cdot g}{g^2}\\
&=\frac{(1+\ln(t))(1/t)-(\ln(t)-1)(1/t)}{(\ln(t)-1)^2} \\
&=\frac{1+\ln(t)-\ln(t)+1}{t(\ln(t)-1)^2}\\
&=\dfrac{2}{t\left(\ln\left(t\right)-1\right)^2}
\end{align}

$\textit{think this is ok, but suggestions before I cp it into overleaf?}$

The derivative is correct! (Yes)
 
took me too long to do it...(Wasntme)
