Question

Evaluate ∫ Cos(ln x) / x dx
Options
A sec(lnx) + C
B tan(lnx) + C
C cot(lnx) + C
D sin(lnx) + C
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

To evaluate the integral, use the substitution method. Let u = ln x. Then, the differential du = (1/x) dx. Substituting these into the integral gives ∫ Cos(u) du. The integral of Cos(u) with respect to u is sin(u) + C. Replacing u with ln x, the final answer is sin(ln x) + C.

Hint

Consider a substitution where u is the argument of the cosine function.
