Evaluate the indefinite integral dx/(xlnxln(lnx))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dx }{ xlnxln(lnx) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A clever u substitution will do the trick, what have you tried so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

banging my head against the wall

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really don't know where to start with this one

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

haha this is a fun one ... you need to do repeated substitutions u = ln x then w = ln u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, I will have \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dx }{ xuw }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[lnx \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ 1 }{ uw }\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

you need to substitute for dx as well you can only integrate with respect to 1 variable so at the end it will be in terms of w and dw

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

u = lnx du = dx/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry, I'm not getting it (I know I should be), I think I need to study some more before this will make sense. I'm not very good w/ the substitutions

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

maybe this will help http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/SubstitutionRuleIndefinite.aspx

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

the answer is ln(ln(ln x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
