Integral of $$$\ln\left(\frac{1}{1 - x}\right)$$$

Find $$$\int \left(- \ln\left(1 - x\right)\right)\, dx$$$.

The input is rewritten: $$$\int{\ln{\left(\frac{1}{1 - x} \right)} d x}=\int{\left(- \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}\right)d x}$$$.

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=-1$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{\ln{\left(1 - x \right)} d x}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=1 - x$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(1 - x\right)^{\prime }dx = - dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = - du$$$.

The integral can be rewritten as

$$- {\color{red}{\int{\ln{\left(1 - x \right)} d x}}} = - {\color{red}{\int{\left(- \ln{\left(u \right)}\right)d u}}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$ with $$$c=-1$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \ln{\left(u \right)}$$$:

$$- {\color{red}{\int{\left(- \ln{\left(u \right)}\right)d u}}} = - {\color{red}{\left(- \int{\ln{\left(u \right)} d u}\right)}}$$

For the integral $$$\int{\ln{\left(u \right)} d u}$$$, use integration by parts $$$\int \operatorname{g} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{g}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{dg}$$$.

Let $$$\operatorname{g}=\ln{\left(u \right)}$$$ and $$$\operatorname{dv}=du$$$.

Then $$$\operatorname{dg}=\left(\ln{\left(u \right)}\right)^{\prime }du=\frac{du}{u}$$$ (steps can be seen ») and $$$\operatorname{v}=\int{1 d u}=u$$$ (steps can be seen »).

The integral can be rewritten as

$${\color{red}{\int{\ln{\left(u \right)} d u}}}={\color{red}{\left(\ln{\left(u \right)} \cdot u-\int{u \cdot \frac{1}{u} d u}\right)}}={\color{red}{\left(u \ln{\left(u \right)} - \int{1 d u}\right)}}$$

Apply the constant rule $$$\int c\, du = c u$$$ with $$$c=1$$$:

$$u \ln{\left(u \right)} - {\color{red}{\int{1 d u}}} = u \ln{\left(u \right)} - {\color{red}{u}}$$

Recall that $$$u=1 - x$$$:

$$- {\color{red}{u}} + {\color{red}{u}} \ln{\left({\color{red}{u}} \right)} = - {\color{red}{\left(1 - x\right)}} + {\color{red}{\left(1 - x\right)}} \ln{\left({\color{red}{\left(1 - x\right)}} \right)}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\left(- \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}\right)d x} = x + \left(1 - x\right) \ln{\left(1 - x \right)} - 1$$

Simplify:

$$\int{\left(- \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}\right)d x} = x - \left(x - 1\right) \ln{\left(1 - x \right)} - 1$$

Add the constant of integration (and remove the constant from the expression):

$$\int{\left(- \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}\right)d x} = x - \left(x - 1\right) \ln{\left(1 - x \right)}+C$$

$$$\int \left(- \ln\left(1 - x\right)\right)\, dx = \left(x - \left(x - 1\right) \ln\left(1 - x\right)\right) + C$$$A
