$\int \ln^{2} (x) d x$

Step 1

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = \ln^{2} (x)$ and $d v = 1$ .

$\ln^{2} (x) x - \int x \frac{\ln (x^{2})}{x} d x$

Step 2.2.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\ln^{2} (x) x - \int \frac{x \ln (x^{2})}{x} d x$

Step 2.2.2

Divide $\ln (x^{2})$ by $1$ .

$\ln^{2} (x) x - \int \ln (x^{2}) d x$

Step 3

Rewrite $\ln (x^{2})$ as $2 \ln (x)$ .

$\ln^{2} (x) x - \int 2 \ln (x) d x$

Step 4

Since $2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $2$ out of the integral.

$\ln^{2} (x) x - (2 \int \ln (x) d x)$

Step 5

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$\ln^{2} (x) x - 2 \int \ln (x) d x$

Step 6

Integrate by parts using the formula $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ , where $u = \ln (x)$ and $d v = 1$ .

$\ln^{2} (x) x - 2 (\ln (x) x - \int x \frac{1}{x} d x)$
