Integration of rational function with substitution












0












$begingroup$


I am having trouble with integrating this function with substitution.



$
intfrac{x^2-4x}{x-2sqrt{x}}dx
$



First i do this:



$
u=sqrt{x}
$



$
du=frac{1}{2sqrt{x}}dx
$



$
dx=frac{du}{frac{1}{{2sqrt{x}}}}
$



then this:



$
intfrac{x^2-4x}{x-2u} frac{du}{frac{1}{{2sqrt{x}}}}
$



But now i don't know if what i have done is correct and know how to proceed.
Any help would be appreciated.

            If you note that with your substitution follows $x=u^2$ and $x^2=u^4$ you get



            $int frac{x^2-4x}{x-2sqrt{x}}dx=2int u^2(u+2)du$



            for $u=sqrt{x}$ from which you should be able to continue.
