Please explain me, I don't understand how they got it. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int+%284x^%28-3%29lnx+dx%29

OpenStudy (loser66):

if taking integral by part, let g = lnx \(\rightarrow\) dg =1/x dx and df = x^(-3) dx and don't understand next line

OpenStudy (loser66):

woa!! today I am lucky. It's not easy to get your help @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is parts right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

I don't know how they get the last 2 lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what lines? oh hold on let me look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets just do it

OpenStudy (loser66):

I did, not as they did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int udv=uv-\int vdu\] pick \[u=\ln(x), du =\frac{dx}{x}, dv=\frac{1}{x^3},v=-\frac{1}{2x^2}\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes, so, uv = -\(\dfrac{lnx}{2x^2}\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

and vdu = \(\int \dfrac{1}{x^3}\)dx

OpenStudy (loser66):

they get \(uv = \dfrac{2lnx}{x^2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i better write this down, give me a sec

OpenStudy (loser66):

@satellite73 I got it, heehe, sorry friend, because of 4 in the front., they got that answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you got a 4 in front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol what you said!!

OpenStudy (loser66):

XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guess i dropped the 4 somewhere too, maybe in what i wrote above that is a load of my mind

OpenStudy (loser66):

Thanks a lot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't do much, but you're welcome
