integral of 1/(u-u^2)

\int \frac{1}{u - u ^{2}} d u

ln ∣ u ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{u - u ^{2}} d u

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{u - u ^{2}} : \frac{1}{u} - \frac{1}{u - 1}

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

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

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

= ln ∣ u ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ u ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣ + C

\int \frac{3 + 7 x}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

\int - (x^{2} - 2 x^{5}) (x^{3} - x^{6})^{- 10} d x

\int 3 x^{2} ln (x^{2} + 3) d x

\int \frac{x ^{5}}{( 4 - x ^{6} ) ^{2}} d x

\int x (2 x - 1)^{2} d x
