Hi, what result do you get if you intergrate Inx with respect to x?

Thanks

Hi James! :smile:

(i assume you mean "lnx")

Hint: integration by parts :wink:
 


As in the opposite of exponential.

Thanks
James
 


First, it is ln(x), not "In(x)"!

As tiny-tim suggested, use integration by parts. That might seem strange since there is only one "part" but let u= ln(x) and dv= dx and every thing works out nicely.
 


Ok, thanks for your replies, james.
