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

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

2 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{3}{x - 2} + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int \frac{2 x}{( x - 2 ) ^{2}} d x = 2 (ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{2}{x - 2})

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

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

Simplify

2 (ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{2}{x - 2}) - (- \frac{1}{x - 2}) : 2 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{3}{x - 2}

= 2 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{3}{x - 2}

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ - \frac{3}{x - 2} + C
