Prove that the identity is true ln(n+1)=Integral of f'(x)/f(x), if the limits of integration are x=n+1 and x=n+2 f(x) is a polynomial and it's...

Since the polynomial has n roots, we'll write the polynomial
f(x) as a product of linear factors:


f(x) =
a(x-1)(x-2)...(x-n)


We'll note each factor as a
function:


x-1 = f1 => f1' =
1


x-2 = f2 => f2' =
1


.............


x-n = fn => fn'
= 1


f(x) = f1*f2*...*fn


We'll
differentiate both sides, using product rule:


f'(x) =
(f1*f2*...*fn)'


(f1*f2*...*fn)' = f1'*f2*..fn + f1*f2'*f3*....fn +
... + f1*f2*...*fn'


f'(x) = (x-2)*...*(x-n) + (x-1)*(x-3)*...*(x-n)
+ ... + (x-1)*...(x-n+1)


We'll divide by f(x) both
sides:


f'(x)/f(x) = 1/(x-1) + 1/(x-2) + ... +
1/(x-n)


We'll integrate both sides:


Int
f'(x)dx/f(x) =Int dx/(x-1) + Int dx/(x-2) + ... + Int dx/(x-n)


Int
f'(x)dx/f(x) =ln(x-1) + ln(x-2) + ... + ln(x-n)


We'll apply Leibniz
Newton:


Int f'(x)dx/f(x) =ln(n+1)/n + ln(n)/(n-1) + ... +
ln2/1


Int f'(x)dx/f(x) =
ln[(n+1)n(n-1).....2/n(n-1)....1]


Int f'(x)dx/f(x) =
ln[(n+1)!/n!]


But (n+1)! =n!*(n+1) => ln[(n+1)!/n!] =
ln[n!*(n+1)/n!]


Int f'(x)dx/f(x) =
ln(n+1)


The identity ln(n+1)=Integral of f'(x)/f(x) is
true, for the polynomial function f(x), whose roots are
1,2,...,n.
