Integrate lnx

This requires your knowledge of integration by parts. The trick here is that lnx can also be written as lnx*1 (as any term multiplied by 1 is itself). We set u=lnx and dv/dx equal to 1. Hence from this we can write du/dx = 1/x and v =x. Now, we can apply the integration by parts formula to lnx, which will give us xlnx - x + c

Why does ln(x) differentiate to 1/x ?


Consider the functions f and g where f (x) = 3x − 5 and g (x) = x − 2 . (a) Find the inverse function, f^−1 . (b) Given that g^−1(x) = x + 2 , find (g^−1 o f )(x) . (c) Given also that (f^−1 o g)(x) = (x + 3)/3 , solve (f^−1 o g)(x) = (g^−1 o f)(x)
