Integral of (x+1)/(x-1) dx
The solution
Detail solution
-
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x−1x+1=1+x−12
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
∫1dx=x
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫x−12dx=2∫x−11dx
-
Let u=x−1.
Then let du=dx and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x−1)
So, the result is: 2log(x−1)
The result is: x+2log(x−1)
Method #2
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x−1x+1=x−1x+x−11
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x−1x=1+x−11
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
∫1dx=x
-
Let u=x−1.
Then let du=dx and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x−1)
The result is: x+log(x−1)
-
Let u=x−1.
Then let du=dx and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x−1)
The result is: x+log(x−1)+log(x−1)
-
Add the constant of integration:
x+2log(x−1)+constant
The answer is:
x+2log(x−1)+constant
