Help pleaseyes
\[\int\limits x \log(1+x^{-1})dx=f(x)\log(x+1)+g(x)x^2+Lx+C\]
what do you need help with?
need to find the values of unkown
What grade are you in, so I can get an idea of what to do
@iambatman @rational pls help
I havent done this in years I tried solving but still aint getting the correct answer
I'd say use integration by parts.
thank you so much for a try :)
Are you supposed to prove the left side to the right side?
Your welcome I hope you figure out how to solve this equation!
Oh you mean right side..
well the right hand side is the ans need to figure out the unknown terms
im trying to do
\[\int x\log(1+x^{-1})dx\]\[u = \log(1+x^{-1}) ~,~ du =\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{x}} \cdot -x^{-2} \implies -\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{x^2}}{\dfrac{x+1}{x}} \implies \text{simplify this...}\]
\[dv=xdx~,~ v = \int xdx = \frac{1}{2}x^2\]`
I don't really know if this will turn out, that was just my guess. I've got to head off OS, so ttyl, and gl.`
look this is what i got @Jhannybean \[= x^2/2\ \log(x+1) - x^2/2\ \ logx + x/2 \ \ -1/2 \\ (\log(1+x)) + C \]
hey i got it @Jhannybean
