Question
hi :)  i wanna u tell me the integration of : ln of X to tje powre of 2 over X multiply by radical of 1 + (ln of X )to the power of 2. i'll be garteful if u answer me soon

Answer
The question, restated, is the integeral(ln^2(x)/(x*(1+ln^2(x))).
This is a problem that requires three u substitutions, so we will take u as u, w, and w.

1) Do a u substitution with u=ln(x).  This will elimnate the x since the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x.

2) Next let tan(v)=u, so sec(v) dv = u du.  This reduces to the integral of tan(v).

3) Note that tan(v)=sin(v)/cos(v), so let w=cos(v) and note that dw = -sin(v) dv.

Note that -ln(w)=ln(1/w).  Back substitue back to x, and you're done.  There may be something about limits and which areas of x that can be used along the way.

Expertise

Any kind of calculus question you want. I also have answered some questions in Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies), Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and Biology.

Experience

Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 25 years. Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors. Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.

Publications
Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 7,500 questions on the PC. Well over 2,000 of them have been in calculus.

Education/Credentials
I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required. I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University. I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.

Awards and Honors
I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times. All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).

Past/Present Clients
My past clients have been students at OSU, students at the college in South Seattle, referals from a company, friends and aquantenances, people from my church, and people like you from all over the world.
