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.
