What is the integral of (x^2-2x+1)/(x^2) ?

The integral of (x^2-2x+1)/(x^2) is x-2ln|x|-1/x+C

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

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

x - 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

= x - 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= x - 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x} + C

\int (2 x - 3) 3 (2 x^{2} - 6 x + 7) d x

\int \frac{15}{x x ^{2} - 1} d x

\int (a^{2} - x^{2})^{- \frac{3}{2}} d x

\int \frac{x}{6 x ^{2} - 4} d x

\int (2 t + 2) d t
