$$\int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{x - 3}{x - 1}\, dx$$

Integral((x - 3)/(x - 1), (x, 0, 1))

Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\frac{x - 3}{x - 1} = 1 - \frac{2}{x - 1}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
    
    $\int 1\, dx = x$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \left(- \frac{2}{x - 1}\right)\, dx = - 2 \int \frac{1}{x - 1}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = x - 1$ .
      
      Then let $du = dx$ and substitute $du$ :
      
      $\int \frac{1}{u}\, du$
      
      The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\log{\left(u \right)}$ .
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
    So, the result is: $- 2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
  The result is: $x - 2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
Method #2
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\frac{x - 3}{x - 1} = \frac{x}{x - 1} - \frac{3}{x - 1}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. Rewrite the integrand:
    
    $\frac{x}{x - 1} = 1 + \frac{1}{x - 1}$
  2. Integrate term-by-term:
    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int 1\, dx = x$
    1. Let $u = x - 1$ .
      
      Then let $du = dx$ and substitute $du$ :
      
      $\int \frac{1}{u}\, du$
      
      The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\log{\left(u \right)}$ .
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
    The result is: $x + \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \left(- \frac{3}{x - 1}\right)\, dx = - 3 \int \frac{1}{x - 1}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = x - 1$ .
      
      Then let $du = dx$ and substitute $du$ :
      
      $\int \frac{1}{u}\, du$
      
      The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\log{\left(u \right)}$ .
      
      Now substitute $u$ back in:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
    So, the result is: $- 3 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
  The result is: $x + \log{\left(x - 1 \right)} - 3 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}$
Add the constant of integration:

$x - 2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$x - 2 \log{\left(x - 1 \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$
