Integrate lnx

This question often throws maths students off fairly easily as they are generally not taught the integral of lnx, and do not usually realise that integration by parts can be used for anything, as you can use u=lnx and dv=1, using the formula, you get the answer of the integral of lnx = xlnx + x
