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

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

- 1 + x + ln ∣ 1 - x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int - \frac{- u + 1}{u} d u

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Expand

\frac{- u + 1}{u} : - 1 + \frac{1}{u}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= - (- (- u + ln ∣ u ∣))

Substitute back

u = 1 - x

= - (- (- (1 - x) + ln ∣ 1 - x ∣))

Simplify

= - 1 + x + ln ∣ 1 - x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 1 + x + ln ∣ 1 - x ∣ + C

\int sec^{4} (d) x d x

\frac{d h}{d t} = 4 - 16 t^{2}

g (x) = x^{2} + 3 x^{3}

\frac{d y}{d x} (x y) = 7

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2} - 7}{16 - x ^{2}}
