Answer

$\dfrac{x^3}{3}\ln x-(\dfrac{x^3}{9})+c$

Work Step by Step

The integration by parts formula suggests that $\int a'(x) b(x)=a(x) b(x)-\int a(x) b'(x)dx$ Now, we have $I=\int x^2 \ln x dx$ $\implies I=(\dfrac{x^3}{3})(\ln x)-\int (\dfrac{x^3}{3}) (\dfrac{1}{x})dx$ This implies that $I=(\dfrac{x^3}{3})(\ln x)-\int (\dfrac{x^2}{3})dx$ $\implies I=\dfrac{x^3}{3}\ln x-(\dfrac{x^3}{9})+c$
