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

In summary, to integrate ln(t+1) from 0 to e^2x, use the substitution w=t+1 and integration by parts to get the antiderivative as (t+1)*[ln(t+1)-1]. Then evaluate at the endpoints to get the final answer as {(e^2x+1)*[ln(e^2x+1)-1]}+{1}.

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?

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.
 

1. What is the natural log function?

The natural log function, denoted as ln(x), is the inverse of the exponential function. It is used to solve equations involving exponential growth and decay, and is commonly used in calculus and other mathematical applications.

2. How do you integrate the natural log function?

To integrate the natural log function, you can use the integration by parts method or the substitution method. Both methods involve breaking down the function into simpler terms and applying rules of integration.

3. What is the general formula for integrating the natural log function?

The general formula for integrating the natural log function is ∫ln(x) dx = xln(x) - x + C, where C is the constant of integration.

4. Can the natural log function be integrated with any limits?

Yes, the natural log function can be integrated with specific limits. This is known as a definite integral and involves evaluating the integral at the upper and lower limits of the function.

5. Why is the natural log function important in science?

The natural log function is important in science because it is used to model various natural phenomena, such as population growth, radioactive decay, and chemical reactions. It also plays a crucial role in the study of calculus and other branches of mathematics.
