    Hard Integral
AI Thread Summary
The integral in question is (sqrt(1+ln(x)))/xln(x) dx, which may relate to finding the arc length of a function. A suggested approach involves substituting ln(x) with u to simplify the problem. The discussion highlights the importance of correctly applying the product rule when differentiating functions involving natural logarithms. Participants encourage using LaTeX formatting for clarity to attract more responses. Overall, the conversation focuses on strategies for solving complex integrals involving logarithmic functions.

thanks =)

Hint:
What is
\frac{d}{dx}(xlnx)=?
 
its 1/x right?

No, you must use the product rule:
\frac{d}{dx}(xln(x))=1*ln(x)+x*\frac{1}{x}=ln(x)+1
What does that tell you?
 
oh you are right!
I know the answer then, BUT
I WROTE MY EXERCISE BAD SORRY HERE GO AGAIN
integral of (sqrt(1+ln(x)))/xln(x) dx

Does this pertain to finding the arc length of a function? Also, try writing it out in latex, you'll probably get more responses.
 
is this the question??

\frac{\sqrt{1+\ln x}}{x \ln x} dx?

in which case substitute ln x = u and solve away!
