Isothermal Compression/Expansion

[opprobe]

Homework Statement

Gas obeys Equation of State, PV=RT/(1-bP), where b is a temperature dependent constant.
Isothermal process (T is constant)
V goes from V₁ to V₂
P goes from P₁ to P₂

Show that the amount of Work is
W=(P₁V₁-P₂V₂)+RTln[(P₂²V₂)/(P₁²V₁)

Homework Equations

W=-∫P(V)dV
ΔU=Q+W

The Attempt at a Solution

Solved PV=RT/(1-bP) for P in terms of V
P=(-1$\pm$Sqrt[1-4bRT/V])/(2b)

I don't know how to really integrate that expression. I used Wolfram to eventually get this expression:

∫P(V)dV=-V/(2b)$\pm$RTln(2V(Sqrt[1-4bRT/V]+1)-4bRT)-V*Sqrt[1-4bRT/V]

I'm pretty sure that this isn't the approach to solve this problem. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Try integrating PdV by parts.

That did it. Thanks for the help!
