integral of x/(sqrt(x-x^2))

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

- x (- x + 1) + \frac{1}{2} arcsin (2 x - 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Complete the square

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Expand

\frac{2 u + 1}{- 4 u ^{2} + 1} : \frac{2 u}{- 4 u ^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}

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

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

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

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

= - \frac{1}{2} - 4 u^{2} + 1 + \frac{1}{2} arcsin (2 u)

Substitute back

u = x - \frac{1}{2}

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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