Here you will learn what is the integration of log x dx with respect to x and examples based on it.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin –<\/p>\n
\nThe integration of log x with respect to x is x(log x) – x + C<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
where C is the integration Constant.<\/p>\n
i.e. \\(\\int\\) log x dx = x(log x) – x + C<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Proof :<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWe will use integration by parts formula<\/a> to prove this,<\/p>\n
Let I = \\(\\int\\) log x .1 dx<\/p>\n
where log x is the first function and 1 is the second function according to ilate rule.<\/p>\n
I = log x . {\\(\\int\\) 1 dx} – \\(\\int\\) { \\(d\\over dx\\) (log x) . \\(\\int\\) 1 dx } dx<\/p>\n
I = (log x) x – \\(\\int\\) \\(1\\over x\\).x dx\u00a0<\/p>\n
= x (log x) – \\(\\int\\) 1 dx<\/p>\n
= x (log x) – x + C<\/p>\n
Hence, \\(\\int\\) log x = x (log x) – x + C<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Example<\/span><\/strong> : Evaluate : \\((log x)^2\\) dx<\/p>\n
Solution<\/span><\/strong> : We have,<\/p>\n
I = \\((log x)^2\\) . 1 dx, Then ,<\/p>\n
where \\((log x)^2\\) is the first function and 1 is the second function according to ilate rule,<\/p>\n
I = \\((log x)^2\\) { \\(\\int\\) 1 dx} – \\(\\int\\) {\\(d\\over dx\\) \\((log x)^2\\) . \\(\\int\\) 1 dx } dx<\/p>\n
= \\((log x)^2\\) x – \\(\\int\\) 2 log x . \\(1\\over x\\) . x dx<\/p>\n
= x \\((log x)^2\\) – 2 \\(\\int\\) log x .1 dx<\/p>\n
\\(\\implies\\) I = x \\((log x)^2\\) – 2[ log x { \\(\\int\\) 1 dx } – \\(\\int\\) { \\(d\\over dx\\) (log x) \\(\\int\\) 1 dx } dx ]<\/p>\n
\\(\\implies\\) I = x \\((log x)^2\\) – 2 { (log x) x – \\(\\int\\) \\(1\\over x\\) x dx }<\/p>\n
Hence, I = x( \\((log x)^2\\) – 2 (x log x – x) + C<\/p>\n
