$\int \sqrt{x} \ln (x) d x$

Step 1

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

$\ln (x) (\frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}}) - \int \frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.1

Combine $\frac{2}{3}$ and $x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ .

$\ln (x) \frac{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} - \int \frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 2.2

Combine $\ln (x)$ and $\frac{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}$ .

$\frac{\ln (x) (2 x^{\frac{3}{2}})}{3} - \int \frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{1}{x} d x$

Step 3

Since $\frac{2}{3}$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $\frac{2}{3}$ out of the integral.

$\frac{\ln (x) (2 x^{\frac{3}{2}})}{3} - (\frac{2}{3} \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{1}{x} d x)$
