∫{1log⁡x−1(log⁡x)2}dx\int \left\{\frac{1}{\log x} - \frac{1}{(\log x)^2}\right\} dx is equal to:(where C is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

This is of the form ∫ef{g+g′}\int e^{f}\{g+g'\} style recognition; simplest is to differentiate the candidate.

ddx(xlog⁡x)=log⁡x−1(log⁡x)2=1log⁡x−1(log⁡x)2\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x}{\log x}\right)=\frac{\log x - 1}{(\log x)^2}=\frac{1}{\log x}-\frac{1}{(\log x)^2}.

This is exactly the integrand, so the integral is xlog⁡x+C\frac{x}{\log x}+C.
