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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Long division

\frac{x ^{3}}{1 - x} : - x^{2} - x - 1 + \frac{1}{- x + 1}

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

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 5 e^{5} x d x

\int x e^{x^{2}} sin (x^{2} + 4) d x

\int (2 x - 3)^{8} d x

\int 6 a^{3 x} d x

\int \frac{2}{x} + \frac{3}{x ^{2}} d x
