SUMMARY

The integral of ln(x)cos(x) can be expressed as ln(x)sin(x) - Si(x) + C, where Si(x) represents the sine integral defined as Si(x) = ∫(sin(t)/t) dt from 0 to x. The integration by parts technique is utilized, with u = ln(x) and dv = cos(x) dx, leading to the final expression. Understanding the sine integral is crucial for completing the evaluation of this integral.

integral ln(x).cos(x)
Here I have some clear ideas
U = lnx du = 1/x
dv = cosx so int de cosx = v = -sinx
-sinxlnx -int (sinx)/(x)

Ok I think I must integrate again
u= sinx du = cosx
dv = 1/x v = lnx
Again I got -sinxlnx -int (sinx lnx)
But I am stuck here and I don't know how to finish it??
Can you help me?

Ok i found that integral of sinx/x is Si according to a program but what does Si mean?

Integrating by parts You obtain...$\displaystyle \int \ln x\ \cos x\ d x = \ln x\ \sin x - \int \frac{\sin x} {x}\ d x = \ln x\ \sin x - \text{Si}\ (x) + c\ (1)$

... where...

$\displaystyle \text{Si}\ (x) = \int_{0}^{x} \frac{\sin t}{t}\ d t\ (2)$

Kind regards

Relativistic Momentum, Mass, and Energy Momentum and mass (...), the classic equations for conserving momentum and energy are not adequate for the analysis of high-speed collisions. (...) The momentum of a particle moving with velocity ##v## is given by $$p=\cfrac{mv}{\sqrt{1-(v^2/c^2)}}\qquad{R-10}$$ ENERGY In relativistic mechanics, as in classic mechanics, the net force on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the momentum of the particle. Considering one-dimensional...
