[tex]\int_0^x \frac{1-cos(t)}{t}[/tex]

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I'm lost completely. If I separate it and then try integrating it has 0 for the ln(x) which has to be wrong.

One equation that will be useful to you is that

[tex]cosx = \Sigma_{n=0} ^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n x^{2n}}{(2n)!}[/tex]

So you can cancel out the '1' from the numerator.
