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

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

- ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

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

\int sec (t) (9 sec (t) + 5 tan (t)) d t

\int 32 x \cdot e^{8 x^{2}} d x
