How do I integrate (by parts)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?} (lnx)^2/(x) dx\]

why parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put \[u=\ln(x), du=\frac{1}{x}dx\] and integrate \[\int u^2du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see. so when do you know to use u-substitution and when to use integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess practice. here you see a composite function \[(\ln(x))^2\] set beside the derivative of the inside function \[\frac{1}{x}\] so this is a set up for a u - sub
