We know that cos(θ)=Re(e^(iθ) )  We will assume xεR.  ⇒∫cos(ln(x))dx=Re(∫e^(iln(x)) dx)=  =Re(∫x^i dx)=Re((x^(1+i) /(1+i)))=(x/2)Re(x^i (1−i))=  =(x/2)Re((cos(ln(x))+isin(ln(x)))(1−i))=  =(x/2)Re(cos(ln x)+sin(ln x)+i(...))=  =(1/2)x(sin(ln x)+cos(ln x))  We can simplify further by using  sin α + cos α = (√2)sin(α+(π/4))  ⇒∫cos(ln x)dx=((xsin((π/4)+ln(x)))/(√2)) + C
