Homework Statement


what is the integral of ln(e2x-1) dx

2. The attempt at a solution
I got
u= ln(e2x-1)
du = 2e2x-1 \ e2x-1
du = 2 dx

1/2(integral of u du)

1/2 ln (e2x-1 ) +c

=
1/4 [ln (e2x-1 )]2 + c

Could you please let me know if this is correct? I don't know how to integrate ln

thanks again

It might make your life a whole lot easier if you use the property that ln(ab) = b lna, and ln e = 1.
 
WOW, I seriously need to get some sleep if I couldn't think of that. I was studying for a physics test all night yesterday.

Thanks a lot gb7nash really appreciate it.
 
No problemo
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
