\[\int e^x(x+1)\ln x \ dx \]

Not sure how to approach this. Would I have to multiply it out first?

For starters, I would split it into two integrals and see if integration by parts works on each one.

\[\int e^x(x+1)\ln x dx = \int xe^x~lnx~dx + \int e^x~lnx~dx
 
Thanks! I got it.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
