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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Complete the square

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{u}

= 2 (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = x - 1

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

Simplify

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

= - \frac{2}{x - 1}

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 5 ) ^{\frac{7}{2}}} d x

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

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

\int \frac{3 y ^{4} + 9 y ^{2} - 1}{y ^{3} + 3 y} d y

\int e^{- \frac{x}{30}} d x
