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

integral

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

arcsin (2 x - 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

x (1 - x) : x - x^{2}

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

Complete the square

x - x^{2} : - (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2} + \frac{1}{4}

= \int \frac{1}{- ( x - \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2} + \frac{1}{4}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{2}{- 4 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}{- 4 u ^{2} + 1} d u

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 d v

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot v

Substitute back

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

Simplify

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

= arcsin (2 x - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= arcsin (2 x - 1) + C
