Question

Use integration by parts to solve: integral ln(x^2) dx

Answer 1

\[\int\limits \ln(x^2)dx\]

Answer 2

Any ideas?

Answer 3

I am just not sure which one to use as the derivative and the antiderivative.

Answer 4

It looks like you don't have any choice here, you can only possibly choose: \[\LARGE u=\ln(x^2) \ \ \ \ \ \ dv=dx\]

Answer 5

then use chain rule on \[\ln (x^2)\]
