integrate wrt x: (1/x)*logx?
13 Answers
- 1 decade ago
you can write it as integral of logx*(1/x)dx. I am assuming its a natural log.
now as u can see derivative of logx (i.e 1/x) is invloved in integral thus u can apply power rule of integration.
solution is
integral of logx*1/x*dx ------(A)
substitue t=logx
now dt=1/x*dx
now statement A will look like this
integral of t*dt
on integrating you will get t^2 + C
now putting back the value of 't' will yield you
((logx)^2)/2 +c
n tht's ur answer!!!!

Substitute logx=t. diffrentiating, we get (1/x)dx=dt. Therefore the integrand becomes t.dt, whose integral is (t^2)/2 + c. Back substituting t as logx, we have the solution as (logx)^2/2 +c.

the given qty is logx (1/x)dx
= logx d(logx)
Integral = (1/2)*(logx)^2

Integral ( (1/x)log[base 10](x) )dx
{Note: By log(x), I'm going to assume base 10, the same way a calculator does. I'm NOT going to assume log[base e], because there's already an assigned function for that; ln}
I'm going to change the form of that slightly, so I can show you how the substitution is done.
Integral (log(x) (1/x)dx)
Before we perform our substitution, remember that the derivative of log[base a](x) is 1/[xln(a)]. It looks similar to the derivative of
ln(x) except it's multiplied by 1/ln(a).
Let u = log(x). Then
du = 1/[x ln(10)] dx
Multiplying both sides by ln(10), we have
ln(10) du = (1/x) dx
Note that we can now directly replace (1/x) dx with ln(10) du. The result of our substitution is then:
Integral (log(x) (1/x)dx) becomes
Integral (u (ln 10) du)
Let's pull out the constant ln 10 out of the integral.
(ln10) * Integral (u du)
And now, it's straightforward reverse power rule.
(ln10) * (1/2)u^2 + C
Substituting in u = log(x) back, we have
(ln10) * (1/2) (log(x))^2 + C
Simplifying this slightly,
[(ln10)/2] * [log(x)]^2 + C

∫(1/x)*logxdx
let u = logx
du = dx/x
∫(1/x)*logxdx = udu = (1/2)u^2 + C
∫(1/x)*logxdx = (1/2)(logx)^2 + C

First log x = ln x /ln10 , so wrt x = 1/ln10 *(1/x) *lnx
if you put u = lnx i/x *dx =du
so you must integer (1/ln10 ) udu
integration of udu is u^2/2
and the result of the integration is (1/2*ln10) (lnx)^2

put logx=t
1/x dx=dt;
it simply reduces to integral tdt which is t^2/2 +c
The answer is (logx)^2/2+c

assume In(x)=t, we have d(Inx)/dx=1/x so 1/x * dx =d(Inx)
so Integrate (1/x)* logx .wrt.x = Integ( 1/x) * Inx/ In(10) .wrt.x
as Integ (1/x) * Inx .wrt.x=integ Inx wrt.(Inx)
so Integ (1/x) * inx. wrt.x = integ t wrt. t = 0.5 t * t
as In (x) = t so
ur question = 0.5 (in(x) * In(x))/ In(10)

Integrate (1/x)(ln x). I assume you mean the natural log.
∫(1/x)(ln x)dx
Let
u = ln x
du = (1/x)dx
∫(1/x)(ln x)dx = ∫u(du) = u²/2 + C = (ln x)²/2 + C
