Answer

$= \frac{2}{3}\sqrt {x^{3}}(\ln x - \frac{2}{3}) + C$

Work Step by Step

$\int \sqrt x \ln x dx$ $u = \ln x$ $u' = \frac{1}{x}$ $\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{1}{x}$ $du = \frac{dx}{x}$ $dv = \sqrt x dx$ $v = \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}$ $v = \frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $uv - \int vdu$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \int (\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}})(\frac{dx}{x})$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{2}{3}\int (x^{\frac{3}{2}})(\frac{1}{x})dx$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{2}{3}\int (x^{\frac{3}{2}})(x^{-1})dx$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{2}{3}\int (x^{\frac{1}{2}})dx$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{2}{3}\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $= (\ln x)(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \frac{4}{9}x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $= \frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}(\ln x - \frac{2}{3}) + C$ $= \frac{2}{3}\sqrt {x^{3}}(\ln x - \frac{2}{3}) + C$
