1. Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
Hi there

Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
2. Re: Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
Yes, it is .

You can find it using integration by parts.
3. Re: Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
Yup. choose, as JB says, parts, using Ln(x) = Ln(x) x (1) - derive the Log part, integrate 1 for the other
4. Re: Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
How do you figuratively integrate a function?

Hi there

I'm gonna take a guess and say you've got a C3 exam 2morrow.
You should avoid integrating Ln X, that's why in integration by parts you make u=Ln x no matter what that way you only have to differentiate it and not integrate it.
This method works because i tried it with a question and came out with the right answer.

Here is an example from my book:

NO!
well your question said "literally" and dont really know what you mean by using that word in this context?
9. Re: Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
xln(x) - x + c
10. Re: Is there such a thing a literaly integrating ln x?
It could be a misspelling of "illiterately".

On a more serious note - the posters who gave the answer are correct, but you should try it yourself. Integrate by parts, using the trick . It may seem weird, but it works.
