Answer

$\frac{1}{2}\ln|\frac{x-2}{x}|+c$

Work Step by Step

Ɪ=$\int\frac{dx}{x^{2}-2x}$ by completing the square Ɪ=$\int\frac{dx}{(x^{2}-2x+1)-1}$ Ɪ=$\int\frac{dx}{(x-1)^{2}-1}$ using formula 6 : $\int\frac{dx}{x^{2}-a^{2}}$=$\frac{1}{2a}\ln|\frac{x-a}{x+a}|+c$ then the integral becomes Ɪ=$\int\frac{dx}{((x-1)^{2})-1}$=$\frac{1}{2}\ln|\frac{(x-1)-1}{(x-1)+1}|+c$ Ɪ=$\frac{1}{2}\ln|\frac{x-2}{x}|+c$
