well from my not-so-competent logic i can try to do this
i am first of all converting this to a definite integral for my convinience!
the integral is \int_{0}^{x}{\frac{x}{dx}}
considering the function y=x
so what we have to do is divide the graph into rectangles of breadth w and find the summation of l/b in the interval 0 to x
\lim_{b\rightarrow 0}\sum_{r=0}^{\frac{x}{b}}{\frac{r}{b}}\leq \int_{0}^{x}{\frac{x}{dx}}\leq \lim_{b\rightarrow 0}\sum_{r=0}^{\frac{x}{b}}{\frac{r+1}{b}}
i think using this concept we can solve this problem
completely unsure if this approach is even 0.01% correct! :P

HEY
i got a concept!!
though dont know its validity !!
see
dy is a small no
dy→0
therefore 1/dy is large very large
so it comes up like this
∫(of a large quantity)
but hey we dont integrate large quanities..do we?
THUS MY LOGIC SAYS ::
INTEGRATION NOT POSSIBLE!!!
please dont curse me if am wrong...:P:P

Similar to http://www.edaboard.com/ftopic376760.html , have a look.
dt = x.dx is a valid differential equation but dt = x/dx is not unless you're integrating in the form ∫∫dtdx. Hence ∫xdx has no semantics, no meaningfulness.
