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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{2}{x - 1} d x = 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{- 3 x ^{7} - 6 x ^{2} - 32}{x ^{9}} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2} arctan ( x ^{3} )}{1 + x ^{6}} d x

\int 3 e^{x} - e^{x} x^{2} d x

\int \frac{4 x + 7}{3 x - 1} d x

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