integral of 1/(x(100-x))

\int \frac{1}{x ( 100 - x )} d x

\frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x - 100 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( 100 - x )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( 100 - x )} : \frac{1}{100 x} - \frac{1}{100 ( x - 100 )}

= \int \frac{1}{100 x} - \frac{1}{100 ( x - 100 )} 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 \frac{1}{100 x} d x - \int \frac{1}{100 ( x - 100 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{100 x} d x = \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{100 ( x - 100 )} d x = \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x - 100 ∣

= \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x - 100 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{100} ln ∣ x - 100 ∣ + C
