Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{5} \log _e\left|\frac{x^5-1}{x^5}\right|+C: C\) is an arbitrary constant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int \frac{1}{x(x^5-1)} dx = \frac{1}{5} \int \frac{5x^4}{x^5(x^5-1)} dx = \frac{1}{5} \int \frac{du}{u(u-1)}\) \(= \frac{1}{5} \int \left(\frac{1}{u-1} - \frac{1}{u}\right) du = \frac{1}{5} (\log_e|u-1| - \log_e|u|) + C\)…
