The correct answer is: log(x-2)-log(x-1)

I=1x-25.x-14dx

 I=dxx-29.x-1x-24

Let x-1x-2=t

 x-2.1-x-1.1x-22dx=dt

 -1x-22dx=dt   ...1

Also, x-1x-2=t

 x-1=tx-2t

 x=2t-1t-1

 x-2=1t-1  ...2

 I=-dt1t-17t4

 I=1-t7t4dt

 I=1-c17t+c27t2-c37t3+......+c67.t6-c77t7t4dt

 I=1t4dt-c17dtt3+c27dtt2-c371tdt+....-c77t3dt

 I=t-4+1-4+1-7 t-3+1-3+1+c27t-2+1-2+1-c37logt+...-t44+c

   I=-13x-1x-2-3+72x-1x-2-2-c37logx-1x-2+.....- 14x-1x-24+c

 I=-13x-2x-13+72x-2x-12+c27x-2x-1+c47x-2x-1-1+c37logx-2-logx-1....-14x-2x-1-4+c  ...1

 Given that

1(x-2)5(x-1)4dx=r=-4-1Arx-2x-1r+r=13Arx-2x-1r+Bfx

We get fx=logx-2-logx-1
