integral of u/(1-u^2)

\int \frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} d u

- \frac{1}{2} ln 1 - u^{2} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} d u

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{1}{2 v} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln (∣ v ∣)

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ v ∣

Substitute back

v = 1 - u^{2}

= - \frac{1}{2} ln 1 - u^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln 1 - u^{2} + C
