How do you intergrate ln(x)?

There's a nice trick here you can do, treat the equation as 1*ln(x) then intergrate by parts.

Differentiating ln(x) gives 1/x, while intergrating 1 gives x

So your left with a much easier intergration

xln(x)-(Intergral sign)x 1/x dx

which is simply x*ln(x)-x

The line L1 has vector equation,  L1 = (  6, 1 ,-1  ) + λ ( 2, 1, 0). The line L2 passes through the points (2, 3, −1) and (4, −1, 1). i) find vector equation of L2 ii)show L2 and L1 are perpendicular.


(i) Prove sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 2cosec(2θ) , (ii) draw draph of y = 2cosec(2θ) for 0<θ< 360°, (iii) solve to 1 d.p. : sin(θ)/cos(θ) + cos(θ)/sin(θ) = 3.
