How would you integrate ln(x)
It can seem tricky to integrate ln(x), as there is no obvious solution to do it.It is, however, quite simple to do if you use the 'by parts' method.If you have y=ln(x)Set u=ln(x) and dv/dx=1That gives du/dx=1/x and v=x.So, using the 'by parts' formula, this would give an answer of xln(x)-x+c
