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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Expand

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

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

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

\int 2 d u = 2 u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{u ^{2}}{2} + 2 u + ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 1

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{9 x ^{3}}{x ^{3} + 1} d x

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 8 x - 7} d x

\int (x^{2} + x + 9) x + 7 d x

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

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