How do you intergrate ln(x)?

There's a nice trick here you can do, treat the equation as 1*ln(x) then intergrate by parts.

Differentiating ln(x) gives 1/x, while intergrating 1 gives x

So your left with a much easier intergration

xln(x)-(Intergral sign)x 1/x dx

which is simply x*ln(x)-x

Find dy/dx of the equation (x^3)*(y)+7x = y^3 + (2x)^2 +1 at point (1,1)


Given that log_{x} (7y+1) - log_{x} (2y) =1 x>4, 0<y<1 , express y in terms of x.


Solve the following equation: x^3 + 8x^2 + 4x - 48=0


Differentiate the following: y = 3x^(1/3) + 2
