Solution to: 0
√ = 2π
x log(1/x)

We are asked to evaluate the integral: Z 1


dx
I= q
1

0 x log x

Step 1: Substitution
Let:  
1
log = t ⇒ x = e−t , dx = −e−t dt
x
Change of limits:

• When x = 0+ , t → ∞
• When x = 1, t = 0

Step 2: Substitute into the integral


0 ∞ ∞ ∞
−e−t e−t e−t e−t/2
Z Z Z Z
I= √ dt = √ dt = √ dt = √ dt
∞ te−t 0 te−t 0 e−t/2 · t 0 t

t
Step 3: Let u = 2
⇒ t = 2u, dt = 2du
∞ ∞ √ ∞ √ √ √ √
e−t/2 e−u
Z Z Z

I= dt = · 2du = 2 u−1/2 e−u du = 2·Γ = 2 · π = 2π
0 t1/2 0 (2u)1/2
0 2

Final Answer:
Z 1
