How do you integrate #int ln x^3 dx # using integration by parts?
1 Answer
Explanation:
First, simplify the function using the rule
#intln(x^3)dx=int3lnxdx=3intlnxdx#
The question then becomes, how do we integrate
Integration by parts takes the form
#intudv=uv-intvdu#
So, we have to determine what to let
Find the values of
#ul(u=lnx)" "=>" "(du)/dx=1/x" "=>" "ul(du=1/xdx)#
#ul(dv=1dx)" "=>" "intdv=intdx" "=>" "ul(v=x#
Plugging these into the integration by parts formula, not forgetting the
#3intlnxdx=3(xlnx-intx(1/x)dx)#
#=3xlnx-3intdx#
#=3xlnx-3x+C#
