Answer

$$\int \frac{\ln\sqrt t}{t}dt=\frac{\ln^2t}{4}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int \frac{\ln\sqrt t}{t}dt=\int\frac{\ln t^{1/2}}{t}dt$$ $$A=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{\ln t}{t}dt$$ We set $u=\ln t$ Then $$du=\frac{1}{t}dt$$ Therefore, $$A=\frac{1}{2}\int udu=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{u^2}{2}+C$$ $$A=\frac{u^2}{4}+C$$ $$A=\frac{\ln^2t}{4}+C$$
