integral of 1/((x-1)^5)

\int \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{5}} d x

- \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 ) ^{4}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{5}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{5}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{4 u ^{4}}

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= - \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 ) ^{4}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 ) ^{4}} + C
