Homework Statement



int dx / (x (ln 3)^3)

can someone tell me how to start this problem what's my u and dv ??

You've got to mean dx/(x*ln(x)^3). Just do u=ln(x). That's all.
 


opps actually problem is int dx / (x (ln x)^3)

so u = ln x
du= 1/x dx

int 1/ u^3 dx
 


1/u^3 du. Not dx.
 


right.. thanks
