Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}\ln(2)-\frac{7}{9} ≈ 1.070614$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle \int_1^2w^2\ln(w)dw$ ______________________________ Let $f = \ln(w)$ and $g' = w^2$ thus $\displaystyle f' = \frac{1}{w}$ and $\displaystyle g = \frac{w^3}{3}$ ______________________________ $\displaystyle \int_1^2w^2\ln(w)dw = [\frac{w^3}{3}\ln(w)]_1^2 - \int_1^2\frac{w^3}{3}(\frac{1}{w})dw$ $\displaystyle [\frac{8}{3}\ln(2)-\frac{1}{3}\ln(1)] - \int_1^2\frac{w^2}{3}dw$ $\displaystyle [\frac{8}{3}\ln(2)-0]-\frac{w^3}{9}|_1^2$ $\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}\ln(2)-(\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{9})$ $\displaystyle \frac{8}{3}\ln(2)-\frac{7}{9} ≈ 1.070614$
