To calculate the antiderivative of the function, we'll
have to determine the indefinite integral of (x^2 - 3x +
2)/(x-1)
We notice that the roots of the numerator are 1
and 2, therefore we can re-write the quadratic as a product of linear
factors:
x^2 - 3x + 2 =
(x-1)(x-2)
We'll calculate the indefinite integral of the
given function:
Int (x^2 - 3x + 2)dx/(x-1) = Int
(x-1)(x-2)dx/(x-1)
We'll simplify and we'll
get:
Int (x-1)(x-2)dx/(x-1) = Int (x-2)dx = Int xdx - 2Int
dx
Int (x^2 - 3x + 2)dx/(x-1) = x^2/2 - 2x +
C
The antiderivative of the function is Int
(x^2 - 3x + 2)dx/(x-1) = x^2/2 - 2x + C.
