integral of 1/(x^2+x-2x)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + x - 2 x} d x

- ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + x - 2 x} d x

Simplify

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - x} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - x} : - \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x - 1}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{x - 1} d x = ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

= - ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

\int a^{s i n (x)} cos (x) d x

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

\int \frac{x - 1}{9 x ^{2} - 18 x + 17} d x

\int \frac{5 x}{9 - x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} - 8} d x
