integral of x/((x-1))

\int \frac{x}{( x - 1 )} d x

x - 1 + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x}{x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u + 1}{u} d u

= \int \frac{u + 1}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u + 1}{u} : 1 + \frac{1}{u}

= \int 1 + \frac{1}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int 1 d u + \int \frac{1}{u} d u

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= u + ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= x - 1 + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= x - 1 + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{( ln ( x ) ) ^{2}})

\frac{d}{d x} (3 x^{8} ln (x))

\int ((sin (x))^{2} x + (cos (x))^{2} x) d x

\int \frac{( 3 x ^{2} + 5 x )}{( x - 1 ) ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} d x

\int tan^{3} (3 x) sec^{4} (3 x) d x
