How do you find the antiderivative of ln(x)?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

by parts usually, or a table

OpenStudy (amistre64):

id go the table route lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

xln(x) - x + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean tables that list the derivatives?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, no; tables that list the anti derivatives of comon stuff

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the long route is to do int by parts

OpenStudy (amistre64):

{S} ln(x) dx -------------- u = ln(x) v = x du = 1/x dv=dx ---------------- {S} ln(x) dx = uv - {S} v du {S} ln(x) dx = x ln(x) - {S} x/x du = x ln(x) - x + C

OpenStudy (amistre64):

missed a few parts for ultimate clarity; but hopefully you get the drift of it
