Click For Summary
The integral $\int xe^x \ln x \, dx$ can be evaluated using integration by parts. The result is $(x-1)e^x \ln x - \int \frac{x-1}{x} e^x \, dx$. This simplifies further to $(x-1)e^x \ln x - e^x + \text{Ei}(x) + c$, where $\text{Ei}(x)$ represents the Exponential Integral Function. The discussion highlights the steps involved in the integration process and the final expression for the integral. Understanding these steps is crucial for solving similar integrals effectively.

Integrating by parts You obtain...

$\displaystyle \int x\ e^x\ \ln x\ dx = (x-1)\ e^{x}\ \ln x - \int \frac{x-1}{x}\ e^{x}\ dx = (x-1)\ e^{x}\ \ln x - e^{x} + \text{Ei}\ (x) + c\ (1)$

... where $\text{Ei} (x)$ is the 'Exponential Integral Function'...

Kind regards
