Let \int_1^x f(x) dx = g(x)

Then the given equation may be written as

g(xy) = yg(x)+xg(y)

or \frac{g(xy)}{xy} = \frac{g(x)}{x}+\frac{g(y)}{y}

Hence h(x) = \frac{g(x)}{x} satisfies the well known functional equation h(xy) = h(x)+h(y) for which the solution is h(x) = c ln x.

Hence \int_1^x f(x) \ \dx = cx \ln x \Rightarrow f(x) = c (\ln x+1)

thank u sir..
