integrate x^3.logx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

limits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hw do u decide the functions f and g

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is indefinite integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have been told a order for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess what? parts again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya......u gotta explain me d best fit technique

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well this time it will be easier to find the anti derivative of \[x^3\] then to keep integrating \[\ln(x)\]so i would make \[u=\ln(x), du =\frac{1}{x}dx, dv = x^4, v=\frac{x^4}{4}\] and it should work out nicelyi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

notice that in the first step the log is gone, and you can simplify the second integral easily because you will end up with \[-\frac{1}{4}\int \frac{x^4}{x}dx=-\frac{1}{4}\int x^3dx\] so you will be done after one step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it ..this needs practice i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the only way you will know what to pick. on the other hand, if you picked \[dv=\ln(x)\] then you would have \[v=x\ln(x)-x\] and you see that your second integral would be a real pain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya tryed it that way it was hard
