Integrating ln(t+1) from 0 to e^2x?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integration of ln(t+1) from 0 to e^2x can be effectively solved using integration by parts. The substitution w=t+1 simplifies the integral, allowing the application of the formula for integration by parts. The final expression is (t+1)*[ln(t+1)-1], evaluated at the limits of 0 and e^2x, resulting in the expression {(e^2x+1)*[ln(e^2x+1)-1]}+{1}. Further simplification may be possible, but this provides a complete solution.

Homework Statement


How would I begin to integrate ln(t+1) from 0 to e^2x?


Homework Equations


d/dx[log base a of u]=1/(lna)u du/dx

Can the original equation be manipulated to use this derivative?


The Attempt at a Solution


Not sure where to start.

It's the sort of problem where you could actually guess the antiderivative, but if you can't, integrate by parts.
 
It's an integration by part question. First, use a substitution to get it to one variable instead of a polynomial in the logarithm.
w=t+1
dw=dt
Substitute (I'm going to revert the limits in the end to the original variable, so you know):
Integrate of ln(w)dw
Let:
u=ln(w) and dv=dw
du=(1/w)*dw and v=w

w*ln(w)-Int(w*(1/w)*dw)
w*ln(w)-Int(dw)
w*ln(w)-w
(t+1)*[ln(t+1)-1]
now evaluate at your endpoints:
{(e^2x+1)*[ln(e^2x+1)-1]}+{1}
You can probably simplify this some more, but there it is.
