    The integral of \[\frac{{{x}^{2}}-x}{{{x}^{3}}-{{x}^{2}}+x-1}\]w.r.t.x is     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 12 May 2012)

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\log \left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)+C\]

    B)                        \[\frac{1}{2}\log \left| {{x}^{2}}+1 \right|+C\]

    C)                        \[\log \left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)+C\]         

    D)                        \[\log \left| {{x}^{2}}-1 \right|+C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Let \[I=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{{{x}^{2}}-x}{{{x}^{3}}-{{x}^{2}}+x-1}}dx\] \[=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{x\left( x- \right)}{{{x}^{2}}\left( x-1 \right)+\left( x-1 \right)}}dx=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{x\,dx}{{{x}^{2}}+1}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{2xdx}{\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}}\] Let\[{{x}^{2}}+1=t\Rightarrow 2xdx=dt\] \[\therefore \]\[I=\frac{1}{2}\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dt}{t}=\frac{1}{2}}\log t+c\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\log \left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)+c\]where 'c' is the constant of integration.
