[SOLVED] why can't I remember how to integraTE

x^2lnxdx ? I can't find a formula that matches up?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You want help to Integrate it or just saying why can't you remember the table formula and you want someone to give it to you?

\int x^2\ln xdx

Integrate by Parts: I=uv-\int vdu

u=\ln x
du=\frac{dx}{x}

dV=x^2dx
V=\frac 1 3 x^3
