Solve int(ln(x)dx)

To solve this we must use integration by parts: int(udv) = uv - int(vdu) (1) Hence let u = ln(x), dv = dx => du=(1/x)dx, v=x, and now using (1) and substituting values we obtain int(ln(x)dx) = ln(x)x - int(x(1/x)dx) = ln(x)x - int(dx) = xln(x) - x + C

Can I have help with integrating by parts? I am unsure on how to use the formula.


Consider the infinite series S=Σ(from n=0 to infinite) u(down n) where u(down n)=lim (from n π to (n+1) π) ((sin t)/t) dt. Explain why the series is alternating.
