The above integeral can be solved by using Partial Fraction ------------>
∫ (1dx)/(a-x)(b-x) = A/(a -x) + B/(b -x)
1 = A(b -x) + B(a – x)
Now find the values of A and B.
1. put x=a
1 = A(b – a)
A = 1/(b – a)
2. put x= b
B = 1/(a – b)
Hence the integeral, ∫ (1dx)/(a-x)(b-x) = ∫1/(b – a) * (a – x)dx + ∫ 1/(a – b) * 1/(b – x)dx
= 1/(a – b)*log(a – x) – 1/(a – b) * log(b – x) + c
is the answer.
