Solve the integral:lnxdx

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required answer isx2lnx-x2+c.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

We have given integral islnxdx.

02

Step 2. Solve the integration by parts . 

We have,

u=lnxdu=dxx

and

role="math" dv=dxv=dxv=x

The formula of integration by parts is udv=uv-vdu.

lnxdx=12lnxdx=12lnxdx=12lnxx-x.1xdx=12lnxx-1dx=x2lnx-x2+c

Most popular questions from this chapter

True/False: Determine whether each of the statements that follow is true or false. If a statement is true, explain why. If a statement is false, provide a counterexample.

(a) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sec u is a suitable choice for solving1x24dx.

(b) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sec u is a suitable choice for solving1x24dx.

(c) True or False: The substitution x = 2 tan u is a suitable choice for solving1x2+4dx.

(d) True or False: The substitution x = 2 sin u is a suitable choice for solvingx2+45/2dx

(e) True or False: Trigonometric substitution is a useful strategy for solving any integral that involves an expression of the form x2a2.

(f) True or False: Trigonometric substitution doesn’t solve an integral; rather, it helps you rewrite integrals as ones that are easier to solve by other methods.

(g) True or False: When using trigonometric substitution with x=asinu, we must consider the cases x>a and x<-a separately.

(h) True or False: When using trigonometric substitution with x=asecu, we must consider the cases x>a and x<-a separately.

Find three integrals in Exercises 27–70 for which a good strategy is to use integration by parts with u=xand dv the remaining part.

Complete the square for each quadratic in Exercises 28–33. Then describe the trigonometric substitution that would be appropriate if you were solving an integral that involved that quadratic.

Show by differentiating (and then using algebra) that cotsin1xand 1x2xare both antiderivatives of 1x21x2. How can these two very different-looking functions be an antiderivative of the same function?
