That skill is called integration. Essentially, you can imagine a line on a graph, and they use calculus skills to find the area between the line and the y=0 and between the x values given on that giant swirly S. The line on the graph is defined by the equation after that big S

[@razlotan7504]

Explanation for Tiebreaker: denote by I_k the integral of (lnx)^k with these limits (we will insert k=2020 at the end) plug in u=log(x) the integral transforms to -infinity to 0 of u^k*e^u integrate by parts differentiating the u^k part, you will get a similar integral but a factor of k comes out and the power decreases to k-1, this gives us a recursion formula: I_k=-k*I_(k-1), I_1=-1 can be checked and thus, I_k=(-1)^k*k! so I_2020=2020!

[@Capybaraking76]

@@Teracosa it's a u-substitution that changes the expression and bounds u=log(x) e^u=x e^u du = dx log(0)=-∞ log(1)=0 So then log(x)^2020 dx from 0 to 1 becomes log(e^u)^2020 e^u du = u^2020 e^u du from -∞ to 0

[@Andrew-io9cb]

@@xinpingdonohoe3978 I don't understand why log(0) = -infinity and instead is not undefined. Is it undefined as it heads toward infinity? Would log(-1) = -infinity as well?

You just need to apply integration by parts, take u=1 and v=log^2020(x) One can generalise this as If I(n) = integration from 0 to 1 log^n(x) then I(n)= -n I(n-1) hence I(n) = (-1)^n n! .

Itay Cohen to generalise this problem let a be a constant, e(x) be an even function and o(x) be an odd function. The integral of [e(x)]/{1+a^[o(x)]} dx from -b to b equals the integral of e(x) dx from 0 to b. To prove this substitute u=-x into the original integral, simplify by using the properties of even and odd functions, multiply top and bottom by a^[o(u)], replace u with x (it’s a dummy variable), then add this to the original integral.

[@georgez5991]

where does the denominator go for q1?

[@neelmodi5791]

Call the integral A. Do a substitution x -> -x in the given form of A. This leads to an almost identical form for A, except the exponent in the denominator picks up a minus sign. Now add these two nearly identical expressions for A to get 2A = integral from -infty to infty of sum of two nearly identical fractions. Now, if you factor out 2020^(-|x|) from the fractions, it turns out that the remaining two nearly identical fractions sum to unity (exactly one). You can check this by simply forming a common denominator and directly adding them. In general, the following identity holds: 1/(1 + p) + 1/(1 + p^{-1}) = 1
