Write the integrand as ex(f(x)+f′(x))e^x\big(f(x)+f'(x)\big) with f(x)=1(x−1)2f(x)=\dfrac{1}{(x-1)^2}, giving ex(x−1)2+C\dfrac{e^x}{(x-1)^2}+C.

We use the standard result ∫ex(f(x)+f′(x)) dx=exf(x)+C\displaystyle\int e^x\big(f(x)+f'(x)\big)\,dx=e^x f(x)+C.

Split the rational factor:

x−3(x−1)3=(x−1)−2(x−1)3=1(x−1)2−2(x−1)3\frac{x-3}{(x-1)^3}=\frac{(x-1)-2}{(x-1)^3}=\frac{1}{(x-1)^2}-\frac{2}{(x-1)^3}

Take f(x)=1(x−1)2f(x)=\dfrac{1}{(x-1)^2}. Then

f′(x)=−2(x−1)3f'(x)=-\frac{2}{(x-1)^3}

Hence …
