Integral of $$$\frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)}$$$

Find $$$\int \frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)}\, dx$$$.

Perform partial fraction decomposition (steps can be seen »):

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} + \frac{1}{5 x}\right)d x}}}$$

Integrate term by term:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} + \frac{1}{5 x}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\int{\frac{1}{5 x} d x} + \int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=\frac{1}{5}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x} + {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{5 x} d x}}} = \int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x} + {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\int{\frac{1}{x} d x}}{5}\right)}}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{x}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{x} d x} = \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x} + \frac{{\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x} d x}}}}{5} = \int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x} + \frac{{\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}}}{5}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=\frac{1}{5}$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{5 - x}$$$:

$$\frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{5 \left(5 - x\right)} d x}}} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\int{\frac{1}{5 - x} d x}}{5}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=5 - x$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(5 - x\right)^{\prime }dx = - dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = - du$$$.

So,

$$\frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + \frac{{\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{5 - x} d x}}}}{5} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + \frac{{\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{1}{u}\right)d u}}}}{5}$$

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

$$\frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + \frac{{\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{1}{u}\right)d u}}}}{5} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} + \frac{{\color{red}{\left(- \int{\frac{1}{u} d u}\right)}}}{5}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{u}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{u} d u} = \ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$\frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{{\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{5} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{{\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}}}}{5}$$

Recall that $$$u=5 - x$$$:

$$\frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{u}}}\right| \right)}}{5} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{\left(5 - x\right)}}}\right| \right)}}{5}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)} d x} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x - 5}\right| \right)}}{5}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)} d x} = \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}{5} - \frac{\ln{\left(\left|{x - 5}\right| \right)}}{5}+C$$

$$$\int \frac{1}{x \left(5 - x\right)}\, dx = \left(\frac{\ln\left(\left|{x}\right|\right)}{5} - \frac{\ln\left(\left|{x - 5}\right|\right)}{5}\right) + C$$$A
