integral of 1/((xsqrt(x-1)))

\int \frac{1}{( x x - 1 )} d x

2 arctan (x - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{2}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= 2 arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= 2 arctan (x - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 arctan (x - 1) + C
