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

This integral can be solved using u-substitution.Let u = ln x.Then, find the differential du: du = d/dx(ln x) dx = (1⁄x) dx.Substitute u and du into the integral:∫ Cos(u) duIntegrate with respect to u:= sin(u) + CSubstitute back u = ln x:= sin(ln x) + C.This matches option D.

Hint

Look for a function whose derivative is also present in the integrand. Try u-substitution with u = ln x.
