Evaluate $$\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{1+x^2}\ dx$$
I don't know where to start with this so either the full evaluation or any hints or pushes in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
Answer
Hint
Write $$\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{(1+x^2)}dx=\int_0^1\frac{\ln x}{(1+x^2)}dx+\int_1^\infty\frac{\ln x}{(1+x^2)}dx$$ For the second integral make a change of variable $x=\frac{1}{y}$ and see the beauty of the result.
I am sure that you can take from here.
