integral of ((x^3+x)/(x-1))

\int (\frac{x ^{3} + x}{x - 1}) d x

\frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{3} + x}{x - 1} d x

Long division

\frac{x ^{3} + x}{x - 1} : x^{2} + x + 2 + \frac{2}{x - 1}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

\int 2 d x = 2 x

\int \frac{2}{x - 1} d x = 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 2 x + 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C
