Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\text{x}^3\log\text{x dx}$
✓
Answer
Let $\text{I}=\int\text{x}^3\log\text{x dx}$
Using integration by parts,
$\text{I}=\log\text{x}\int\text{x}^3\text{dx}-\int\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\times\int\text{x}^3\text{dx}\Big)\text{dx+C}$
$=\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}\log\text{x}-\int\frac{\text{x}^4}{4\text{x}}\text{dx+C}$
$=\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}\log\text{x}-\frac{1}{4}\int\text{x}^3\text{dx+C}$
$=\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}\log\text{x}-\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}\text{dx+C}$
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}\log\text{x}-\frac{1}{16}\text{x}^4+\text{C}$
