integral of 1/(sqrt(x)(x-1))

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

- ln x + 1 + ln x - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Factor

u^{2} - 1 : - (- u^{2} + 1)

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u = \frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}

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

Substitute back

u = x

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

Simplify

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

= - ln x + 1 + ln x - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln x + 1 + ln x - 1 + C

\int 18 x^{5} - 10 x^{4} + 12 d x

\int (6 x + 5) sin (7 x) d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( x + 1 ) ( x - 3 )} d x

\int (3 x^{2} + 2 x) (5 x^{3} + 5 x^{2} + 2)^{8} d x

\int (x + 5) e^{\frac{x}{2}} d x
