\frac{b}{b-1}+\frac{b-1}{b-1}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{b-1}{b-1}.
\frac{b+b-1}{b-1}
Since \frac{b}{b-1} and \frac{b-1}{b-1} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{2b-1}{b-1}
Combine like terms in b+b-1.
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}b}(\frac{b}{b-1}+\frac{b-1}{b-1})
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 1 times \frac{b-1}{b-1}.
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}b}(\frac{b+b-1}{b-1})
Since \frac{b}{b-1} and \frac{b-1}{b-1} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}b}(\frac{2b-1}{b-1})
Combine like terms in b+b-1.
\frac{\left(b^{1}-1\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}b}(2b^{1}-1)-\left(2b^{1}-1\right)\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}b}(b^{1}-1)}{\left(b^{1}-1\right)^{2}}
For any two differentiable functions, the derivative of the quotient of two functions is the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the denominator squared.
\frac{\left(b^{1}-1\right)\times 2b^{1-1}-\left(2b^{1}-1\right)b^{1-1}}{\left(b^{1}-1\right)^{2}}
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivatives of its terms. The derivative of a constant term is 0. The derivative of ax^{n} is nax^{n-1}.
\frac{\left(b^{1}-1\right)\times 2b^{0}-\left(2b^{1}-1\right)b^{0}}{\left(b^{1}-1\right)^{2}}
