Question

Evaluate `int 1/(x(x - 1))  "d"x`

Sum

Solution

Let I = `int 1/(x(x - 1))  "d"x`

= `int(x - x + 1)/(x(x - 1))  "d"x`

= `int(x - (x - 1))/(x(x - 1))  "d"x`

= `int(1/(x - 1) - 1/x)  "d"x`

= `int 1/(x - 1) "d"x - int 1/x "d"x`

= `log  |x - 1| - log  |x| + "c"`

∴ I = `log  |(x - 1)/x| + "c"`
