Integrate 1/(x*lnx): Integration by Parts

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integration of the function 1/(x*lnx) using integration by parts is not effective. Forum participants concluded that this method does not yield the correct answer and suggested exploring derivatives within the integrand instead. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of providing attempts for better assistance, as the integration by parts approach is deemed unpromising for this specific function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integration techniques, specifically integration by parts.
  • Familiarity with derivatives and their application in integration.
  • Knowledge of logarithmic functions and their properties.
  • Basic calculus skills, including the ability to manipulate integrals.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research alternative integration techniques for complex functions.
  • Learn about the application of derivatives in integration, particularly in non-standard cases.
  • Study the properties of logarithmic functions in calculus.
  • Explore advanced integration methods, such as substitution and partial fractions.
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in calculus, mathematicians exploring integration techniques, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of complex integrals.

Parts is probably not the best approach. Instead, look for derivatives within the integrand.

Yeh, i know that there is a easier way to resolve it. But i see that try by part we can't ccame in the right answer, i need to now if i made a error or indeed we can't use integral by parts here, and if we cant, why?

You'll need to post your attempt. No one can help if we can't see what you've done.

Integration by parts doesn't look promising to me.
