Question

Evaluate `int 1/("x" ("x" - 1))` dx

Evaluate

Solution

Let I = `int 1/("x" ("x" - 1))` dx

`= int ("x" - "x" + 1)/("x"("x" - 1))` dx

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

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

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

`= log |"x" - 1| - log |"x"| + "c"`

∴ I = log `|("x" - 1)/"x"| + "c"`
