What is y if dy/dx=sin(lnx)/x?

To determine the primitive y, we'll have to calculate the
indefinite integral of dy.


We'll solve by replacing ln x by
t:


ln x = t


We'll
differentiate both sides:


dx/x =
dt


We'll re-write the integral in the new variable
t:


Int dy = Int sin(lnx)
dx/x


Int sin(lnx) dx/x = Int sin t
dt


Int sin t dt = - cos t +
C


We'll replace t by ln x:


Int
sin(lnx) dx/x = - cos (ln x) + C


The
primitive function is: y = - cos (ln x) + C.
