2/(1 + x) is the answer

To solve we can use chain rule and the knowledge that the derivative of the natural log is 1/x

So we have 1/((1 + x) / (1 - x))
Multiplied by the derivative of the stuff inside the natural log

We solve the derivative of what is inside the natural log and we get 2/(1 - x)

Then we can simplify this:

(2 / (1 - x)) / ((1 + x) / (1 - x))

Canceling the 1 - x term

To get the final answer of 2/(1 - x)

I hope this helps :)

I can help with the algebra simplifying if you want also :))
