integrate (lnx)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help me

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\int (\ln x)^3\text d x=3\int\ln x \text d x=3(x\ln x-x)+c\]

myininaya (myininaya):

oh no no \[\ln(x^3)=3\ln(x) \text{ but } (\ln(x))^3 \neq 3 \ln(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah unkle you're wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a by parts question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx = du v=ln(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solving using by parts and the ^

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

this is best done with the IBP probably u = (ln x)^3 du = 3 (ln x)/x dv = dx v = x \[\large x (\ln x)^3 - \int 3 \ln x dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did he do by parts, i can't even tell and since you're already answering i feel no need to actually solve it

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i assume you can do it from there @isham_92 ?

myininaya (myininaya):

is du right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or did he think it was ln(x^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah dx=du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get x=u

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

wahhh wrong >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i have to actually solve it -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...dont make me please lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

u = (ln x)^3 du = 3(ln x)^2/x dv = dx v = x \[x (\ln x)^3 - \int 3(\ln x)^2 dx\] this needs another integration by part :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yessirrr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

until you get to ln(x)^1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do believe this is on the integration table tho not sure tho =/

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[3\int (\ln x)^2 dx\] u = (ln x)^2 du = (2 ln x) /x dv = dx v = x \[x (\ln x)^2 - \int 2 \ln x dx\] \[x(\ln x)^2 - 2x \ln x +2x\] so inserting in the original one... \[x (\ln x)^3 - 3[x (\ln x)^2 - 2x \ln x + 2x]\] \[x (\ln x)^3 - 3x (\ln x)^2 + 6x \ln x - 6x\] that right @myininaya

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i was way off, sorry about that
