Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(1+x)(x-1)\ln(1+x)-\frac{1}{4}(1+x)^{2}+1+x+C$

Work Step by Step

Substitute$ \left[\begin{array}{ll} t=1+x, & x=t-1\\ dt=dx & \end{array}\right]$ $I=\displaystyle \int x\ln(1+x)dx=\int(t-1)\ln t$ By parts, $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} u=\ln t & dv=(t-1)\\ & \\ du=\frac{dt}{t} & v=\frac{1}{2}t^{2}-t \end{array}\right],\quad\int udv=uv-\int vdu$ $I=(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}t^{2}-t)\ln t-\int(\frac{1}{2}t^{2}-t)\cdot\frac{1}{t}dt$ $=(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}t^{2}-t)\ln t-\int(\frac{1}{2}t-1)dt$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}t(t-2)\ln t-(\frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{t^{2}}{2}-t)+C$ ... bring x back ...($t=1+x$) $I=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}(1+x)(x-1)\ln(1+x)-\frac{1}{4}(1+x)^{2}+1+x+C$
