The area is 4 times the area bounded by y=ln(x) between 0 and 1.Now if you remember integral lnx=x(lnx-1)+c,it could save some time.Even better would be to use the fact that lnx is inverse of e^x and inverse functions are mirror images in the line y=x.and hence required area =4 times integral e^x between limit negative infinity and 0

I agree: letting t t\to-\infty in e t e^t is easier than x 0 x\to 0 in x ln x x \ln x

Basically, this will look like the graph of l n ( x ) ln(x) , but it's flipped and rotating. We need to find the absolute value of the area bounded between 0 and 1 of l n ( x ) ln(x) .

Integrating l n ( x ) ln(x) with indefinite integral for now since im too lazy to put the bounds on every integral sign (excuse my lack of +C's).

Important note: e x = e x + C \int e^x=e^x+C

ln ( x ) d x \displaystyle \int \ln(x) ~~dx

let x = e u x=e^u and d x = e u d u dx=e^u ~~ du

ln ( e u ) e u d u \displaystyle \int \ln(e^u) e^u~~du

u e u d u \displaystyle \int u e^u~~du

Integrating by parts a d b = a b b d a \displaystyle \int a~ db=ab-\displaystyle \int b ~da . Let a = u , d a = 1 , d b = e u , b = e u a=u,~~da=1,~~db=e^u,~~b=e^u

a b b d a = u e u e u ab-\displaystyle \int b ~da=ue^u-\displaystyle \int e^u

u e u e u ue^u-e^u

Re substituting for u. Lol, I'm substituting for "u". Haha, ha, anyone? Never mind

x = e u u = ln x x=e^u \Rightarrow \therefore u=\ln x

l n ( x ) e ln ( x ) e ln ( x ) ln(x)e^{\ln(x)}-e^{\ln(x)}

x ln ( x ) x x\ln(x)-x

Now, we need the definite integral from 0 to 1, so plugging in x=0 will by some magical witch craft=0. When x=1, we have our integral equal to -1. We need the absolute area so we can let it be 1.

Finally, we multiply this by 4 since there are 4 of these figures.

This our answer is 1x4=4.

I think below one is easier and time saving to find integration

l n ( x ) d x = l n ( x ) 1 d x ( d d x l n ( x ) 1 d x ) = x l n ( x ) 1 d x = x ( l n ( x ) 1 ) \int { ln(x)\quad dx } =\quad ln(x)\int { 1 } dx-\int { (\frac { d }{ dx } ln(x)-\int { 1 } dx) } \\ =\quad x\quad *\quad ln(x)\quad -\quad \int { 1 } dx\quad =\quad x(ln(x)\quad -\quad 1)\quad
