integral of (x^3)/(x-1)

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{x - 1} d x

\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}{3} + \frac{3 ( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 3 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{( u + 1 ) ^{3}}{u} d u

= \int \frac{( u + 1 ) ^{3}}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{( u + 1 ) ^{3}}{u} : u^{2} + 3 u + 3 + \frac{1}{u}

= \int u^{2} + 3 u + 3 + \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 u^{2} d u + \int 3 u d u + \int 3 d u + \int \frac{1}{u} d u

\int u^{2} d u = \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

\int 3 u d u = \frac{3 u ^{2}}{2}

\int 3 d u = 3 u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{u ^{3}}{3} + \frac{3 u ^{2}}{2} + 3 u + ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= \frac{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}{3} + \frac{3 ( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 3 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{( x - 1 ) ^{3}}{3} + \frac{3 ( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 3 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

(8 - 6 y + e^{- 3 x}) d x - 2 d y = 0

\int (\frac{x}{( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 )}) d x

f (x) = e^{x} x^{- n}

\frac{d}{d x} ((3 x - x^{3} + 1)^{4})

\frac{d}{d t} (s sin (t))
