integral(x*ln(sqrt(1+x^2)) dx) first make subsitution then use integration by parts to evaluate integral. show steps

First of all, you have to make the substitution:


sqrt (1+x^2)= t, so that, if we'll differentiate it, the result will be:


(2*x*dx/2sqrt (1+x^2) )=dt


x*dx/sqrt (1+x^2) =dt


x*dx=sqrt (1+x^2) *dt, but sqrt (1+x^2)= t


x*dx=t*dt


Now, we'll write the integral depending on the variable "t":


integral(x*ln(sqrt(1+x^2)) dx)=integral(ln t*tdt) 


Now, we can use the integration by parts method:


Integral (f' * g)=f*g-Integral(f*g')


We'll choose "ln t" as being f function:


f=ln t, so that f'=1/t


g'=t dt, so that g=Integral (t) dt=t^2/2


integral(ln t*tdt) =(t^2/2)*ln t-integral[ (1/t)*t^2/2]


integral(ln t*tdt) =(t^2/2)*ln t-(1/2)*(t^2/2) + C


But sqrt (1+x^2)= t, so


integral(x*ln(sqrt(1+x^2)) dx)= ((1+x^2)/2)*ln sqrt (1+x^2)-1/4*(1+x^2) +C

Discuss at least two characteristics of Romanticism in John Keat's poem "Ode toa Nightingale".

The poet in Ode To A Nightingale  is an escapist .He escapes through imagination .On his way the bower of the bliss wher the nightingale is ...
