integral of (4x^2)/(x-1)

\int \frac{4 x ^{2}}{x - 1} d x

4 (\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 2 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{4 x ^{2}}{x - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{x ^{2}}{x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{( u + 1 ) ^{2}}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{( u + 1 ) ^{2}}{u} : u + 2 + \frac{1}{u}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= 4 (\int u d u + \int 2 d u + \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

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

\int 2 d u = 2 u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= 4 (\frac{u ^{2}}{2} + 2 u + ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= 4 (\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 2 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 4 (\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{2} + 2 (x - 1) + ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + C
