$\int \ln (x) d x$

Step 1

This integral could not be completed using u-substitution. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = \ln (x)$ and $d v = 1$ .

$\ln (x) x - \int x \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 3.1

Combine $x$ and $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$\ln (x) x - \int \frac{x}{x} d x$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Step 3.2.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\ln (x) x - \int \frac{x}{x} d x$

Step 3.2.2

Rewrite the expression.

$\ln (x) x - \int d x$

Step 4

Apply the constant rule.

$\ln (x) x - (x + C)$

Step 5

Simplify.

$\ln (x) x - x + C$
