int \ (1+lnx)/x^2 \ dx = -(2+lnx)/x C
Explanation:
We seek:
I = int \ (1+lnx)/x^2 \ dx
In preparation for an application of [integration by Parts]We can then apply Integration By Parts:
Let
{ (u,=1+lnx, => (du)/dx,=1/x), ((dv)/dx,=1/x^2, => v,=-1/x ) :}
Then plugging into the IBP formula:
int \ (u)((dv)/dx) \ dx = (u)(v) - int \ (v)((du)/dx) \ dx
We have:
int \ (1+lnx)(1/x^2) \ dx = (1+lnx)(-1/x) - int \ (-1/x)(1/x) \ dx
Giving is:
I = -(1+lnx)/x + int \ 1/x^2 \ dx
\ \ = -(1+lnx)/x -1/x + C
\ \ = -(2+lnx)/x C
