$$\int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{2} - 1}{x - 2}\, dx$$

Integral((x^2 - 1)/(x - 2), (x, 0, 1))

Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\frac{x^{2} - 1}{x - 2} = x + 2 + \frac{3}{x - 2}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
    
    $\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}$
  1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
    
    $\int 2\, dx = 2 x$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \frac{3}{x - 2}\, dx = 3 \int \frac{1}{x - 2}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = x - 2$ .
      
      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:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
    So, the result is: $3 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
  The result is: $\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 3 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
Method #2
1. Rewrite the integrand:
  
  $\frac{x^{2} - 1}{x - 2} = \frac{x^{2}}{x - 2} - \frac{1}{x - 2}$
2. Integrate term-by-term:
  1. Rewrite the integrand:
    
    $\frac{x^{2}}{x - 2} = x + 2 + \frac{4}{x - 2}$
  2. Integrate term-by-term:
    1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}$
    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
      
      $\int 2\, dx = 2 x$
    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
      
      $\int \frac{4}{x - 2}\, dx = 4 \int \frac{1}{x - 2}\, dx$
      
      Let $u = x - 2$ .
      
      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:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
      
      So, the result is: $4 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
    The result is: $\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 4 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \left(- \frac{1}{x - 2}\right)\, dx = - \int \frac{1}{x - 2}\, dx$
    1. Let $u = x - 2$ .
      
      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:
      
      $\log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
    So, the result is: $- \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
  The result is: $\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 4 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)} - \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}$
Add the constant of integration:

$\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 3 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$\frac{x^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 3 \log{\left(x - 2 \right)}+ \mathrm{constant}$
