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

integral

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x + ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

\int 2 d x = 2 x

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x + ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x + ln ∣ x ∣ + C
