what is the integral of (x^2 *ln x)/2 . dx ?? please help :/

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[\int \frac{x^2\ln x}{2}dx\]\[=\frac{1}{2}\int\ln xd(\frac{x^3}{3})\]\[=\frac{1}{6}\int \ln xd(x^3)\]Then, by parts:\[=\frac{1}{6}(x^3(\ln x) - \int x^3d(\ln x))\]Should be alright now..

hartnn (hartnn):

if you are not comfortable with the notation of d(x^3) you can use the substitution, u=x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will the final answer be =2x-4x+c ??

hartnn (hartnn):

how did u get that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol see the attachment

hartnn (hartnn):

aah, no you took dv = ln x dx that does not give you v =1/x

hartnn (hartnn):

follow what callisto suggested.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how did he get (x33) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean did he get the derivative directly from the first step ?

hartnn (hartnn):

3x^2 = d(x^3) so, x^2 = d(x^3/3) if you are not comfortable with this way, try substituting u= x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok mr hartnn i will try it now btw.. thank u for helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct ?? please say yes lol

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[\int udv = uv - \int vdu\] u = ln(x) v = \(\int x^2dx = \frac{x^3}{3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it now thank u so much :D
