Given: ∫f(x)loge[f(x)]f′(x)dx
Whenever f′(x) appears in the numerator and f(x) in the denominator, substitution simplifies the integral.
Let u=f(x)
Then du=f′(x)dx
The integral becomes:
∫u⋅loge(u)1du
Notice that loge(u) appears in the denominator, and the derivative of loge(u) is u1.
Let t=loge(u)
Then dt=u1du
The integral becomes:
∫t1dt
∫t1dt=loge(t)+C
Substituting back t=loge(u):
loge(t)+C=loge(loge(u))+C
Substituting back u=f(x):
loge(loge(u))+C=loge(loge(f(x)))+C
Therefore, ∫f(x)loge[f(x)]f′(x)dx=loge(loge[f(x)])+C
