SUMMARY

The integration by parts (IbP) problem discussed involves the integral \(\int_{1}^{2e} x^2 (\ln x)^{2} dx\). The user correctly identifies \(u = (\ln x)^{2}\) and \(dv = x^{2} dx\), leading to \(du = \frac{2 \ln x}{x} dx\) and \(v = \frac{x^{3}}{3}\). The next step involves applying IbP again to the resulting integral \(-\int_{1}^{2e} \frac{x^{3}}{3} \cdot 2 \ln x \, dx\), confirming that further integration by parts is necessary to complete the solution.

\int_{1} ^{2e} x^2(ln x)^{2} dx

I need to solve this using IbP. I made the following:

u = (ln x)^2

du = (\frac{2 ln x}{x}) dx



dv = x^2 dx

v = \frac{x^3}{3}

So I get:
(ln x)^2 (\frac{x^3}{3}) \|_{1} ^{2e}- \int_{1} ^{2e} (\frac{x^3}{3}) 2 ln x dx
(not sure how to make this look right)

Is this right?
Where do I go from here? Thanks

Integrate by parts again.
 
So what I have is right so far? I just IbP on the RHS?
 
Yup, if you've integrated ln(x) before, it should be obvious that you can integrate it again.
