MCQ
$\int \frac{x d x}{(x-1)(x-2)}$ equals
  • A
    $\log \left|\frac{(x-1)^{2}}{x-2}\right|+C$
  • B
    $\log |(x-1)(x-2)|+C$
  • C
    $\log \left| {{{\left( {\frac{{x - 1}}{{x - 2}}} \right)}^2}} \right| + C$
  • $\log \left|\frac{(x-2)^{2}}{x-1}\right|+C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\log \left|\frac{(x-2)^{2}}{x-1}\right|+C$
d
Let $\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}=\frac{A}{(x-1)}+\frac{B}{(x-2)}$

$x=A(x-2)+B(x-1)$          .........$(1)$

Equating the coefficients of $x$ and constant, we obtain

$A+B=1$ and $-2 A-B=0$

$A=-1$ and $B=2$

$\therefore \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)}=-\frac{1}{(x-1)}+\frac{2}{(x-2)}$

$\Rightarrow \int \frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)} d x=\int\left\{\frac{-1}{(x-1)}+\frac{2}{(x-2)}\right\} d x$

$=-\log |x-1|+2 \log |x-2|+C$

$=\log \left|\frac{(x-2)^{2}}{x-1}\right|+C$

Hence, the correct Answer is $D$.
