Evaluate the Integral

Problem

(∫_^)(ln(x)*d(x))

Solution

1. Identify the integration method. Since the integrand is a single logarithmic function, use integration by parts with the formula (∫_^)(u*d(v))=u*v−(∫_^)(v*d(u))

2. Assign variables for integration by parts. Let u=ln(x) and d(v)=d(x)

3. Differentiate u and integrate d(v) This gives d(u)/d(x)=1/x so d(u)=1/x*d(x) and v=x

4. Apply the formula for integration by parts.

(∫_^)(ln(x)*d(x))=x*ln(x)−(∫_^)(x⋅1/x*d(x))

5. Simplify the integral on the right side.

(∫_^)(ln(x)*d(x))=x*ln(x)−(∫_^)(1*d(x))

6. Evaluate the remaining integral and add the constant of integration C

(∫_^)(ln(x)*d(x))=x*ln(x)−x+C

Final Answer

(∫_^)(ln(x)*d(x))=x*ln(x)−x+C
