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

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

- ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

= - ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ x ∣ + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

\int x \cdot arctan (7 x) d x

\int (4 - 3 (1 + x^{2})^{- 1}) d x

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

\int x \cdot e^{- \frac{x ^{2}}{2}} d x

\int - \frac{4000}{( 1 + 0.4 x ) ^{2}} d x
