Hello Everyone trying to come up with a stratagey to solving this integral

Int(x^3*J3(x),x) no limits

Ive tried some integration by parts and tried breaking it down into J1 and J0's however i still get to a point where I have to integrate either : Int(x*J1(x),x) or Int(J6(x),x)

Use the following recursion relationships.

Start with the first one, and let n+1 = 3

[tex]\frac{2n}{x}\,J_n(x)\,=\,J_{n-1}(x)\,+\,J_{n+1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{dJ_n(x)}{dx}\,=\,J_{n-1}(x)\,-\,J_{n+1}(x)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dJ_0(x)}{dx}\,=\,-J_1(x)[/tex]

Of course, one could use the more general derivative identity

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[x^m J_m(x)]\,=\,x^m J_{m-1}(x)[/tex]

but one should probably prove that.
