By parts, ∫log⁡x dx=xlog⁡x−x+c\int \log x\,dx = x\log x - x + c, not xlog⁡x+x+cx\log x + x + c, so the statement is false.

Write ∫log⁡x dx=∫(log⁡x)⋅1 dx\int \log x\,dx = \int (\log x)\cdot 1\,dx and apply integration by parts with u=log⁡xu = \log x and dv=dxdv = dx, so du=1x dxdu = \frac{1}{x}\,dx and v=xv = x:

∫log⁡x dx=xlog⁡x−∫x⋅1x dx=xlog⁡x−∫1 dx=xlog⁡x−x+c.\int \log x\,dx = x\log x - \int x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\,dx = x\log x - \int 1\,dx = x\log x - x + c.
