We shall solve the exercise in two different ways.


Method 1 (integration by parts)

At first sight, integration by parts seems impossible, but the trick is to see the integrand as the product

1lnx.

We integrate the factor 1 and differentiate lnx,

1lnxdx=xlnxxx1dx=xlnx1dx=xlnxx+C.


Method 2 (substitution)

It seems difficult to find some suitable expression to substitute, so we try to substitute the whole expression u=lnx. The problem we encounter is how we should handle the change from dx to du. With this substitution, the relation between dx and du becomes

du=(lnx)dx=x1dx

and because u=lnx, then x=eu and we have that

du=1eudxdx=eudu.

Thus, the substitution becomes

lnxdx=udx=lnx=eudu=ueudu. 

Now, we carry out an integration by parts,

ueudu=ueu1eudu=ueueudu=ueueu+C=(u1)eu+C

and the answer becomes

lnxdx=(lnx1)elnx+C=(lnx1)x+C.
