This is a problem that came to me when i was doing implicit differentiation and i got curious as to how to integrate a problem like this. I was fascinated by the simplicity if an equation would have a complex integration problem.
∫x^x(ln x + 1)dx, Question 1
∫x^x dx, Question 2
In question 1 the original equation was an innocent looking harmless equation y=x^x.
In question 2 is what i would have obtain if i have done the following with question 1
∫x^x(ln x + 1)dx= ∫x^x . ln x dx + ∫x^x dx [Simply expanded the expression]
So as it seems expanding the equation does not help me at all.
Even by substitution or using e^x properties does not help that is
x= e(ln x)
x^x= e^(ln x^x)
