We can solve the integral $\int\frac{9}{4\left(x-1\right)^2}dx$ by applying integration by substitution method (also called U-Substitution). First, we must identify a section within the integral with a new variable (let's call it $u$), which when substituted makes the integral easier. We see that $x-1$ it's a good candidate for substitution. Let's define a variable $u$ and assign it to the choosen part
Now, in order to rewrite $dx$ in terms of $du$, we need to find the derivative of $u$. We need to calculate $du$, we can do that by deriving the equation above
Substituting $u$ and $dx$ in the integral and simplify
