Question #45e95 Calculus Introduction to Integration Sigma Notation 1 Answer sente Mar 25, 2016 #intx^2/(1-x)dx=-x^2/2-x-ln|x-1|+C# Explanation: Using the property that #int(f+g) = intf + intg# along with the known integrals #intx^ndx = x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C# for #n!= -1# and #int1/xdx = ln|x|+C#, we have: #intx^2/(1-x)dx = int(-x-1-1/(x-1))dx# #=-intxdx-int1dx-int1/(x-1)dx# #=-x^2/2-x-ln|x-1|+C# Answer link Related questions How does sigma notation work?
