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

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

\frac{2}{1 - x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

= 2 (- (- \frac{1}{u}))

Substitute back

u = 1 - x

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{2}{1 - x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{1 - x} + C
