Integral of xˣ(1/x + ln²x + lnx) | JEE

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
xx ⁣(1x+ln2x+lnx)dx\displaystyle\int x^{x}\!\left(\dfrac{1}{x}+\ln^{2}x+\ln x\right)dx equals
Axx ⁣(ln2x1x)+Cx^{x}\!\left(\ln^{2}x-\dfrac{1}{x}\right)+C
Bxx(lnxx)x^{x}(\ln x-x)
Cxxln2x2+C\dfrac{x^{x}\ln^{2}x}{2}+C
Dxxlnx+Cx^{x}\ln x+Ccorrect
Solution
Step 1: Recall ddx(xx)=xx(lnx+1)\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^{x})=x^{x}(\ln x+1), obtained from xx=exlnxx^{x}=e^{x\ln x}. Step 2: Differentiate the candidate xxlnxx^{x}\ln x by the product rule:
ddx(xxlnx)=[xx(lnx+1)]lnx+xx1x\dfrac{d}{dx}\big(x^{x}\ln x\big)=\Big[x^{x}(\ln x+1)\Big]\ln x+x^{x}\cdot\dfrac{1}{x}
Step 3: Expand:
=xx(ln2x+lnx)+xxx=xx ⁣(1x+ln2x+lnx)=x^{x}(\ln^{2}x+\ln x)+\dfrac{x^{x}}{x}=x^{x}\!\left(\dfrac{1}{x}+\ln^{2}x+\ln x\right)
which is exactly the integrand. Step 4: Therefore
I=xx ⁣(1x+ln2x+lnx)dx=xxlnx+CI=\int x^{x}\!\left(\dfrac{1}{x}+\ln^{2}x+\ln x\right)dx=x^{x}\ln x+C
Correct answer: (4)
