i try to prove the follow do i have to use chain rule? or may be there is easy way

import Mathlib

theorem my_favorite_theorem (x : ) (hx : x  1) : deriv (fun t => (1 - t)⁻¹) x = (1 - x)^(-2 : ) := by sorry

import Mathlib

theorem my_favorite_theorem (x : ) (hx : x  1) :
    HasDerivAt (fun t => (1 - t)⁻¹) ((1 - x) ^ (-2 : )) x := by
  simpa using ((hasDerivAt_id x).const_sub 1).inv (sub_ne_zero.2 hx.symm)
