Math Problem Statement

find int(dx/xlnx)

Solution

To solve the integral dxxlnx\int \frac{dx}{x \ln x}, we can use the substitution method.

Step 1: Substitution

Let: u=lnxu = \ln x Then, the derivative of uu with respect to xx is: du=1xdxdu = \frac{1}{x} dx So, 1xdx=du\frac{1}{x} dx = du.

Step 2: Rewrite the Integral

Now, substitute into the integral: dxxlnx=duu\int \frac{dx}{x \ln x} = \int \frac{du}{u}

Step 3: Solve the Integral

We now recognize that duu\int \frac{du}{u} is a standard integral: duu=lnu+C\int \frac{du}{u} = \ln |u| + C

Step 4: Back-Substitute

Substitute back u=lnxu = \ln x: lnlnx+C\ln |\ln x| + C

Thus, the solution is: lnlnx+C\boxed{\ln |\ln x| + C}
