a practice integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } (\ln x)^2~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am assuming by parts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya INTEGRAL

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yeah, you are right

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

By parts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cambrige to the rescue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, no one is telling me no, I will proceed. \[\int\limits_{ }^{ } (\ln x)^2~dx=x(\ln x)^2 -2\int\limits_{ }^{ }(\ln x)~dx\](The Xs cancel)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DUDE.........U KNOW IT.!! -_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really a problem then...LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } (\ln x)^2~dx=x(\ln x)^2 -2\left(\begin{matrix} x (\ln x)-x+C\\ \end{matrix}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } (\ln x)^2~dx=x(\ln x)^2 -2x (\ln x)+2x+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this \[\tan^{-1}(lnx)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I looked it was un-do-able, but I managed:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

frankly I dunno if it can be solved also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } \tan^{-1}\ln(x)~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is up with your inverse TANGENTS, LOL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I love Trig funtions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to give it a better notation.....\[\int\limits_{ }^{ } \tan^{-1}(\ln x)~dx\]wait, you are tricking me again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I told ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its same lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will take the derivative of tan^-1 (ln x) and do by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so by parts would do, \[\int\limits_{ }^{ } \tan^{-1}(\ln x)~dx=x \tan^{-1}(\ln x)~-\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{1}{(\ln x)^2+1}~dx\](X's canceled)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u cant solve it LMAO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cudnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you can't, maybe I still could:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U m8...try it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I only learn u-sub in class what do you want? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing...calm down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think I got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there must be some sort of an answer to this problem. using error function (that I don't really know), or a series....

OpenStudy (perl):

@fbi2015 to which problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this

OpenStudy (perl):

ok that last integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \tan^{-1}(lnx) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am to the tangent problem, the one I did first is fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(ln x)^2 I solved:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did by parts and stopped at: \[\int\limits_{ }^{ } \tan^{-1}(\ln x)~dx=x \tan^{-1}(\ln x)~-\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{1}{(\ln x)^2+1}~dx \]

OpenStudy (perl):

you did it correctly, the last integral cannot be solved using elementary functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how can it?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

It's not a series.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it's "not" it's not an imaginary,. lol... but what the way?

OpenStudy (perl):

integral 1/(log^2(x)+1) dx = -1/2 i e^(-i) (e^(2 i) \ Ei(log(x)-i)-Ei(log(x)+i))+constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what wolfram says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and dude, why am I even doing this? this is hard as hell, I am talking about just basic by part integration, and maybe some partial fractions.

OpenStudy (perl):

Ei stands for exponential integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never learned that-:()

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[u=(\ln(x))^2~,~ du = 2\frac{\ln(x)}{x}~,~ dv =dx ~,~ v = x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is up with that picture?? jk

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\int udv = uv - \int vdu\]\[\int (\ln(x))^2dx = x(\ln(x))^2 -2 \int x\left(\frac{\ln(x)}{x}\right)dx\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

this is how I would go about solving it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what in the world are you doing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

excuse me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you had the (ln x)^2 + 1 in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually, I don't give a .... about this question anyways... tnx for trying Jhanny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} 1 \times (\ln x)^2 dx\] \[u = (\ln x)^2, u'=2(\ln x)\times \frac{ 1 }{ x },v'=1, v=x\] \[(\ln x)^2 \times x - \int\limits_{}^{}x \times 2(\ln x) \times \frac{ 1 }{ x } dx\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Thank you for agreeing @Ankh

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

DOo you see how it works, @perl?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\int (\ln(x))^2dx = x(\ln(x))^2 -2 \int x\left(\frac{\ln(x)}{x}\right)dx\]\[=x(\ln(x))^2 -2\int \ln(x)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\tan ^{-1}(lnx) \] cant be integrated !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@fbi2015 Can u???

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

There is no need for trig subs here, @TheLOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its there above for a question @Jhannybean so I th8 that is what u were talking bout!!

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

since you don't believe me, check wolfram. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int+%28ln%28x%29%29%5E2dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont believe u where??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that one is already solved it seems @Jhannybean too bad!!
