Question
Evaluate $\int \frac{1}{x(x-1)} d x$

Answer

$\text { Let } I =\int \frac{1}{x(x-1)} d x$
$=\int \frac{x-x+1}{x(x-1)} d x$
$=\int \frac{x-(x-1)}{x(x-1)} d x$
$=\int\left(\frac{1}{x-1}-\frac{1}{x}\right) d x$
$=\int \frac{1}{x-1} d x-\int \frac{1}{x} d x$
$=\log |x-1|-\log |x|+ c$
$\therefore I =\log \left|\frac{x-1}{x}\right|+ c $

The resale value of a machine decreases over a 10 years period at a rate that depends on the age of the machine. When the machine is $x$ years old, the rate at which its value is changing is $₹ 2200(x-10$ ) per year. Express the value of the machine as a function of its age and initial value. If the machine was originally worth ₹ $1,20,000$ how much will it be worth when it is 10 years old?
