#intd(f^-1(x))=f^-1(x)=(x+1)/x#

We have #f(x)=1/(x-1)# and want to find #intd(f^-1(x))#

We start by finding #f^-1(x)#

#f(x)=1/(x-1)#

#rArrxf(x)-f(x)=1#

#rArrf(x)+1=xf(x)#

#rArrx=(f(x)+1)/(f(x))#

#rArrf^-1(x)=(x+1)/x#

Now #intd(f^-1(x))# is the integral of the derivative #df^-1"/"dx#, ie., it is just #f^-1(x)#

So #intd(f^-1(x))=f^-1(x)=(x+1)/x#
