Question

Evaluate the following.

∫ x log x dx

Sum

Solution

Let I = ∫ x log x dx

`= log "x" int "x"  "dx" - int["d"/"dx" (log "x") int "x  dx"] "dx"`

`= log "x" * "x"^2/2 - int [1/"x" xx "x"^2/2]` dx

`= "x"^2/2 log "x" - 1/2 int "x  dx"`

`= "x"^2/2 log "x" - 1/2 * "x"^2/2 + "c"`

∴ I = `"x"^2/2 log "x" - "x"^2/4 + "c"`
