integral from 0 to x of 1/((1-x)^2(1-x))

\int_{0}^{x} \frac{1}{( 1 - x ) ^{2} ( 1 - x )} d x

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

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{x} \frac{1}{( 1 - x ) ^{2} ( 1 - x )} d x

(1 - x)^{2} (1 - x) = (1 - x)^{3}

= \int_{0}^{x} \frac{1}{( 1 - x ) ^{3}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{1}^{1 - x} - \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int_{1}^{1 - x} \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - [- \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}}]_{1}^{1 - x}

Compute the boundaries:

- \frac{1}{2 ( 1 - x ) ^{2}} + \frac{1}{2}

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

Simplify

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