integral of ((x-1))/(sqrt(x^2-2x))

\int \frac{( x - 1 )}{x ^{2} - 2 x} d x

x^{2} - 2 x + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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}{u} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 2 x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (x^{2} - 2 x)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (x^{2} - 2 x)^{\frac{1}{2}} : x^{2} - 2 x

= x^{2} - 2 x

Add a constant to the solution

= x^{2} - 2 x + C
