Answer

$\sqrt {\ln^2 x+1} +c$

Work Step by Step

Solve $\int \dfrac{\ln x dx}{x \sqrt {\ln^2 x+1}}$ Let us $p=\ln^2 x+1$ and $dp=2( \ln x)( \frac{1}{x}) dx$ This implies $\int \dfrac{\ln x dx}{x \sqrt {\ln^2 x+1}}=\frac{1}{2}\int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt p} dp $ $=p^{1/2} +c$ $=\sqrt p +c$ Hence,$\int \dfrac{\ln x dx}{x \sqrt {\ln^2 x+1}}=\sqrt {\ln^2 x+1} +c$
