integral of x^2lnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i've just done it now and got\[\frac{ \frac{ x ^{3}}{3} lnx-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } (x^{3}lnx)}{4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2 \cdot \ln(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use Integration By Parts here.. :)

OpenStudy (perl):

you need to do integration by parts (twice)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive done by parts twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, let me reach where you have reached.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my options are do by parts twice and get to the above answer or simplify the x^3/x to x^2 and integrate 1/3Sx^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I will take \(\ln(x)\) as first function and \(x^2\) as second..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your second opinion is looking good to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the one where i simplify the x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits x^2 \cdot \ln(x) \cdot dx = \ln(x) \cdot \frac{1}{3}x^3 - \int\limits \frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{3}x^3 \cdot dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no need to use one thing twice.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x\) and \(x\) cancels there and you are left with \(x^2dx\) in the second integral after taking 1/3 outside of integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see yes. but if i were to do it accidentally would it be wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, can you tell what is integral of \(\ln(x)\) ?/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't but it will be on my appendix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then if you don't know or don't tell, then how can you do two times by parts there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if you take \(\ln(x)\) as your first function, then you must know its integral too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We know the derivative of \(\ln(x)\) easily, but its integration, I also don't know this time.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*\(\ln(x)\) as second function..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i let u=lnx du=1/x and dv=x^2 v=x^3/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are taking \(u\) as \(ln(x)\), then you have to use parts only one time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you read the word "ILATE" anywhere while studying?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ive heard LIATE from my lecturer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LIATE or ILATE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LIATE

OpenStudy (perl):

LIATE = Log Inversetrig Algebraic Trig Exponential

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perl.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In India, Inverse is given more preference, may be the country name is also starting from I too.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ILATE : Inverse Trig, Log, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry to jack my own question buyt is this other answer correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha i think so too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, in both cases, Log has preference over Algebraic, so ILATE or LIATE is basically a convention, it is not a rule, remember this, while solving by parts, use this convention but it is not at all necessary, you can take any function as u and v, but this convention simplifies some of the integrals, like this one..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, what answer you are talking of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the one in the attached picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How does \(e^{3x}\) become \(e^x\) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot to write the 3 x there but i fixed it in the next line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the last line, you wrote \(e^x\) there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see yes, i meant 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See, I appreciate, that you know how to use the rule or formula, but you are doing silly mistakes while simplifying the integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, quickly let us do once again, you are writing up to: \[x^2 \cdot \frac{1}{3}e^{3x} - \frac{2}{3} \int\limits e^{3x} x \cdot dx\] I have taken 2 from (2x) outside too. Okay??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*you are correct up to.... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Forgot all the term up to 2/3 there, just integrate it at separate place: \[\int\limits e^{3x} \cdot x \cdot dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Forget

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill do that quickly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't go with the speed of light, be slow but accurate.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, we have to fit this there in our actual problem, but be careful.. I do it for you :

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2 \cdot \frac{1}{3}e^{3x} - \frac{2}{3} \int\limits\limits e^{3x} x \cdot dx = x^2 \cdot \frac{1}{3}e^{3x} - \frac{2}{3}[\frac{x \cdot e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{e^{3x}}{9}] + C\] Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i got that one now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Clear now??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are welcome dear.. :)
