Using Integration by Parts, find the indefinite integral of ln(x), and hence show that the integral of ln(x) between 2 and 4 is ln(a) - b where a and b are to be found

Using integration by parts, we can re-write the integral of ln(x) as (xln(x) - int(x(1/x))) = x*ln(x) - x

Therefore, evaluating between 2 and 4 gives us (4ln(4) - 4) - (2ln(2) - 2) = 2ln(16/2) - 4 + 2 = ln(64) - 2. So a = 64 and b = 2
