$\int \frac{\ln (x)}{x} d x$

Step 1

This integral could not be completed using integration by parts. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

Let $u = \ln (x)$ . Then $d u = \frac{1}{x} d x$ , so $x d u = d x$ . Rewrite using $u$ and $d$ $u$ .

Step 2.1.1

Differentiate $\ln (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)]$

Step 2.1.2

The derivative of $\ln (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$\frac{1}{x}$

Step 2.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$\int u d u$

Step 3

By the Power Rule, the integral of $u$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{1}{2} u^{2}$ .

$\frac{1}{2} u^{2} + C$

Step 4

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $\ln (x)$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \ln^{2} (x) + C$
