Answer

\[ = \frac{{2x}}{{{x^2} - 1}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} \frac{d}{{dx}}\,\left( {\ln \,\left| {{x^2} - 1} \right|} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Use\,\,\frac{d}{{dx}}\,\,\left[ {\ln u} \right] = \frac{{{u^,}}}{u} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ set\,\,u = {x^2} - 1 \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Therefore \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{2x}}{{{x^2} - 1}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
