Does $int_1^infty f(x)ln(x)dx$ converge if $int_1^infty f(x)dx $ converges?
$begingroup$
Suppose a function $f:[1,infty)tomathbb R$ is such that $int_1^infty f(x),dx $ converges. Is it possible that $$int_1^infty f(x)ln(x),dx $$ diverges? I have a hard time finding such a function.
Edit: no idea why, but I had just thought naively (without checking) that $int frac 1{xln^k(x)},dx $ diverges for all $k$ just because $int frac 1{xln(x)},dx $ diverges. Sorry!

Hint. Consider the function $$f(x)=frac{1}{xln^2(1+x)}.$$
Is $int_1^infty f(x)dx$ convergent? What about $int_1^infty f(x)ln(x) dx$?
