Find the integral
have you tried integration by parts?
make x^(1/2) your integrating term make ln(x) your differentiating term
\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \int \sqrt{x}\ln(x)~dx }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\int \sqrt{x}\ln(x^{3/2})~dx }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle u=x^{3/2} }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle du= \frac{3}{2}x^{1/2}~dx\quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac{2}{3}du= x^{1/2}~dx }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle \frac{4}{9}\int \ln(u)~du }\) That would be, if ln(u) is an automatic integral for you... In general, myininaya's approach is better...
Just looking at a different angle.
that is really good looking @SolomonZelman one can skip the integration by parts if they are allowed to remember the integral of ln(u) w.r.t. u
Yes, that would be a nice approach\(: ) \) Of course one can derive the general antiderivative of \(x^n\ln(x)\), using this trick.
