Worked solution

10((a))((i))

1. Set up integration by parts

Let I=∫1yln⁡y dyI = \displaystyle \int \frac{1}{y}\ln y\,dy.

Choose parts for integration:
Let u=ln⁡yu = \ln y and dvdy=1y\frac{dv}{dy} = \frac{1}{y}.
Then, differentiating uu and integrating dvdy\frac{dv}{dy} gives:
dudy=1y\frac{du}{dy} = \frac{1}{y} and v=ln⁡yv = \ln y.

2. Apply the integration by parts formula

Using the formula ∫u dv=uv−∫v du\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du:
I=(ln⁡y)(ln⁡y)−∫(ln⁡y)(1y) dyI = (\ln y)(\ln y) - \int (\ln y)\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\,dy
I=(ln⁡y)2−II = (\ln y)^2 - I

3. Rearrange to solve for the original integral

Add II to both sides:
2I=(ln⁡y)2+C′2I = (\ln y)^2 + C'
I=12(ln⁡y)2+CI = \frac{1}{2}(\ln y)^2 + C

(Note: This can also be solved elegantly "otherwise" by substituting u=ln⁡yu = \ln y, which gives du=1ydydu = \frac{1}{y}dy, directly yielding ∫u du=12u2+C=12(ln⁡y)2+C\int u \, du = \frac{1}{2}u^2 + C = \frac{1}{2}(\ln y)^2 + C.)

Answer

12(ln⁡y)2+C\frac{1}{2}(\ln y)^2 + C

10((a))((ii))

1. Separate the variables to set up the integrals.

∫ln⁡yy dy=∫1 dx\int \frac{\ln y}{y} \,dy = \int 1 \,dx

2. Integrate both sides using the result from part (a)(i).

12(ln⁡y)2=x+C\frac{1}{2}(\ln y)^2 = x + C

3. Make $y$ the subject of the formula, applying the condition $y > 1$ to select the correct square root.

(ln⁡y)2=2x+2C(\ln y)^2 = 2x + 2C
ln⁡y=±2x+cwhere c=2C\ln y = \pm\sqrt{2x + c} \quad \text{where } c = 2C
Since y>1y > 1, ln⁡y>0\ln y > 0, so we reject the negative root.
ln⁡y=2x+c\ln y = \sqrt{2x + c}
y=e2x+cy = e^{\sqrt{2x + c}}

Answer

y=e2x+cy = e^{\sqrt{2x + c}}

10((b))((i))

1. Apply the product rule and chain rule to differentiate both terms with respect to $x$.

ddx[xsin⁡(ln⁡x)−xcos⁡(ln⁡x)]\frac{d}{dx}\big[x\sin(\ln x)-x\cos(\ln x)\big]
=[(1)sin⁡(ln⁡x)+xcos⁡(ln⁡x)(1x)]−[(1)cos⁡(ln⁡x)+x(−sin⁡(ln⁡x))(1x)]= \left[ (1)\sin(\ln x) + x\cos(\ln x)\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \right] - \left[ (1)\cos(\ln x) + x(-\sin(\ln x))\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \right]

2. Simplify the resulting expression algebraically to obtain the required result.

=[sin⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡(ln⁡x)]−[cos⁡(ln⁡x)−sin⁡(ln⁡x)]= [\sin(\ln x) + \cos(\ln x)] - [\cos(\ln x) - \sin(\ln x)]
=sin⁡(ln⁡x)+cos⁡(ln⁡x)−cos⁡(ln⁡x)+sin⁡(ln⁡x)= \sin(\ln x) + \cos(\ln x) - \cos(\ln x) + \sin(\ln x)
=2sin⁡(ln⁡x)= 2\sin(\ln x)

10((b))((ii))

1. Justify the removal of the absolute value sign by checking the sign of $\sin(\ln x)$ on the given interval.

For x∈[e1/2,e2]x \in [e^{1/2}, e^2], the values of ln⁡x\ln x range continuously from 12\frac{1}{2} to 22.
Since 0<12≤ln⁡x≤2<π0 < \frac{1}{2} \le \ln x \le 2 < \pi, it follows that sin⁡(ln⁡x)>0\sin(\ln x) > 0 for the entire interval.
Thus, the absolute value can simply be dropped: ∣sin⁡(ln⁡x)∣=sin⁡(ln⁡x)|\sin(\ln x)| = \sin(\ln x).

2. Use the result from part (b)(i) to set up the definite integral.

From part (b)(i), we know that ddx[xsin⁡(ln⁡x)−xcos⁡(ln⁡x)]=2sin⁡(ln⁡x)\frac{d}{dx}\big[x\sin(\ln x)-x\cos(\ln x)\big]=2\sin(\ln x), which implies:
∫sin⁡(ln⁡x) dx=12[xsin⁡(ln⁡x)−xcos⁡(ln⁡x)]\int \sin(\ln x)\,dx = \frac{1}{2}\big[x\sin(\ln x)-x\cos(\ln x)\big]
So, the definite integral becomes:
∫e1/2e2sin⁡(ln⁡x) dx=12[xsin⁡(ln⁡x)−xcos⁡(ln⁡x)]e1/2e2\int_{e^{1/2}}^{e^{2}} \sin(\ln x)\,dx = \frac{1}{2}\big[x\sin(\ln x)-x\cos(\ln x)\big]_{e^{1/2}}^{e^2}

3. Substitute the upper and lower limits to find the exact value.

12[xsin⁡(ln⁡x)−xcos⁡(ln⁡x)]e1/2e2=12(e2sin⁡(ln⁡e2)−e2cos⁡(ln⁡e2))−12(e1/2sin⁡(ln⁡e1/2)−e1/2cos⁡(ln⁡e1/2))=12e2(sin⁡2−cos⁡2)−12e1/2(sin⁡12−cos⁡12)\begin{aligned} &\frac{1}{2}\big[x\sin(\ln x)-x\cos(\ln x)\big]_{e^{1/2}}^{e^2} \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\Big(e^2\sin(\ln e^2) - e^2\cos(\ln e^2)\Big) - \frac{1}{2}\Big(e^{1/2}\sin(\ln e^{1/2}) - e^{1/2}\cos(\ln e^{1/2})\Big) \\ &= \frac{1}{2}e^2(\sin 2 - \cos 2) - \frac{1}{2}e^{1/2}\left(\sin \frac{1}{2} - \cos \frac{1}{2}\right) \end{aligned}

Answer

12e2(sin⁡2−cos⁡2)−12e1/2(sin⁡12−cos⁡12)\frac{1}{2}e^2(\sin 2 - \cos 2) - \frac{1}{2}e^{1/2}\left(\sin \frac{1}{2} - \cos \frac{1}{2}\right)
