SUMMARY

The integral of ln(x)/x^(1/2)dx can be effectively solved using integration by parts. By rewriting the integral as x^{-\frac{1}{2}}ln(x), the integration by parts method becomes applicable. This approach simplifies the process and leads to a definitive solution for the integral.

How do you do this integral?

Integral of ln(x)/x^(1/2)dx

If you re-write it as [itex]x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ln(x)[/itex] integration by parts comes to mind. It will work.
