Integrate ln(x) with respect to x.
Here we can use integration by parts. Notice that ln(x) can be written as ln(x)1, so we can integrate 1 and differentiate ln(x).
Then using the formula int(uv') dx = uv - int(u'v) dx, we find that the integral of ln(x) is xln(x) - int(1/x * x) dx = xln(x) - int(1) dx = xln(x) - x + c, where c is a constant of integration.

It is given that f(x)=(x^2 +9x)/((x-1)(x^2 +9)). (i) Express f(x) in partial fractions. (ii) Hence find the integral of f(x) with respect to x.
f(x) = 9x^3 – 33x^2 –55x – 25. Given that x = 5 is a solution of the equation f(x) = 0, use an algebraic method to solve f(x) = 0 completely.
