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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Expand

\frac{u + 1}{u ^{2}} : \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u ^{2}}

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

= 2 (\int \frac{1}{u} d u + \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u)

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

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

= 2 (ln ∣ u ∣ - \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= 2 (ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{x - 1})

Add a constant to the solution

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

x \to 8 lim (\frac{7 + 8}{7 ( 7 )})

\int_{- π}^{π} sin^{101} (x) d x

2 y d x + x (x^{2} ln (y) - 1) d y = 0

\frac{d}{d x} (sec (5 x + 2))

y = \frac{1}{2} x^{3} + 2, y = x + 1, x = 0, x = 1
