Indefinite Integration of power function in division form

33 Views Asked by At

I have the following integration -

$$\int \frac{2}{x - b \frac{x^{m - n + 1}}{(-x + 1)^m}} \, dx $$

To solve this I did the following - $$\int \frac{1 - b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m}+1 + b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m}}{x(1 - b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m})} \, dx $$

Which gives me -

$$\log(x) + \int \frac{1 + b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m}}{x(1 - b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m})} \, dx + C$$

No matter what substitution I do, I couldn't solve the integral -

$$\int \frac{1 + b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m}}{x(1 - b \frac{x^{m - n}}{(-x + 1)^m})} \, dx $$

Can anyone please suggest what I did wrong? Please suggest me another method to solve this?
