Question 239 of 255

Q.If uu and vv are differentiable functions of xx, then prove that: ∫uv dx=u∫v dx−∫[dudx∫v dx]dx\displaystyle\int uv\,dx = u\int v\,dx - \int\left[\dfrac{du}{dx}\int v\,dx\right]dx. Hence evaluate ∫log⁡x dx\displaystyle\int \log x\,dx

Differentiate u∫v dxu\int v\,dx using the product rule, then integrate both sides.

Proof: By the product rule:

ddx[u∫v dx]=u⋅v+dudx∫v dx\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[u\int v\,dx\right] = u\cdot v + \dfrac{du}{dx}\int v\,dx

Integrating both sides w.r.t. xx:

u∫v dx=∫uv dx+∫[dudx∫v dx]dxu\int v\,dx = \int uv\,dx + \int\left[\dfrac{du}{dx}\int v\,dx\right]dx

Rearranging:

∫uv dx=u∫v dx−∫[dudx∫v dx]dx ■\int uv\,dx = u\int v\,dx - \int\left[\dfrac{du}{dx}\int v\,dx\right]dx\ \blacksquare
