Integral(log(x), (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution
  1. Use integration by parts:

    udv=uvvdu\int \operatorname{u} \operatorname{dv} = \operatorname{u}\operatorname{v} - \int \operatorname{v} \operatorname{du}

    Let u(x)=log(x)u{\left(x \right)} = \log{\left(x \right)} and let dv(x)=1\operatorname{dv}{\left(x \right)} = 1.

    Then du(x)=1x\operatorname{du}{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x}.

    To find v(x)v{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

      1dx=x\int 1\, dx = x

    Now evaluate the sub-integral.

  2. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

    1dx=x\int 1\, dx = x

  3. Now simplify:

    x(log(x)1)x \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)

  4. Add the constant of integration:

    x(log(x)1)+constantx \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

x(log(x)1)+constantx \left(\log{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)+ \mathrm{constant}
